Answer 1

<a onClick="yourFunction(); return false;" href="fallback.html">One Way</a>

** Edit **
From the flurry of comments, I'm sharing the resources given/found.

Previous SO Q and A's:

• Do you ever need to specify 'javascript:' in an onclick? (and the IE related A's following)
• javascript function in href vs onclick

Answer 2

<a href="javascript:call_func();">...</a> 

where the function then has to return false so that the browser doesn't go to another page.

But I'd recommend to use jQuery (with $(...).click(function () {})))
