Comment on Hacking the <a> tag in 100 characters

The reason for onclick is exactly the mentioned "problem". I use <a> tags to show them as links, but without reference, only with onclick events to load the actual request. So if any browser manufacturer tries to kill this behaviour (like x-site scripting bullshit) the world will go oom...

So, if you do not like the javascript events -> disable javascript interpreter in your browser!

It would make more sense to kill IE, ActiveX, Flash and Java-Plugins...
