if this is going to be a visible link on the page that only provides
javascript-enabled functionality, may i suggest that you also set up the
link in such a way as to give non-js users an indication of why the link

<a
 href="need_js.html"
 onClick="yourFunction(); return false"
><img></a>

good luck,
