I've had a couple of folks ask 'Why?' so I guess this isn't as commonly
understood as I thought.

For those that may not be aware, when the event handler is coded via
html like this:
   ... onevent="<javascript_code>" ...

The browser adds it to the DOM object as a function similar to this:
  function onevent(event_data) {
    <javascript_code>
  }

which means that if your code fragment does not return a value it is
essentially a void function which (in this case) will not cancel
invocation of the 'href'.

HTH.
