Make text behave like hyperlink

[2good2b]

Hi, I have an "A" object without an href
<a onClick="openwindow()">some text<a>
Is there any way to make it behave like a hyperlink? i.e. to have a
hand when the cursor hoovers above it?
Thanks

Yes, make it a hyperlink...

<a href="nowhere.html" onclick="openwindow();return false">some text</a>

Or, style the A element with CSS.

Yes, make it a hyperlink...

<a href="nowhere.html" onclick="openwindow();return false">some
text</a>

Or even better, have the link open the file that openwindow() opens, so that
the page is still available to users without javascript...

No.

<a href="javascript: openwindow();return false">some text</a>

<a href="thePageToOpenIfScriptIsDisbaled.html"
onclick="openwindow(this.href);return false">
The link Text</a>

Hope this helps
