Hi Ben,

The way I'd do this, since I'm on an unobtrusive JavaScript kick, is  
to pull this out of the <a ..> tag itself.

Something like:

<?php
$this->JsPrototype()->event->
       observe('#ahello', 'click', 'function(evt) { alert("hello!");  
Event.stop(evt); }'); ?>



Allows a link like this:

<a id="ahello" href="index.php">hello!</a>



I'm working on several Prototype and script.aculo.us helpers right  
now, and this seems like it would be nicely wrapped in something like  
'observeClick()' helper.

Regards,
Clay
