Good point. You can safely combine them...
<a href="url-for-non-javascript-browsers"
onclick="functionForJavascriptBrowsers(); return false">Click here</a>
In some cases, the page is a total loss to non-javascript browsing,
which is best handled by directing those users to another page
entirely in the first place. If that's the case, you can assume
javascript for the page in question and simplify the above to this:
<a href="javascript:functionForJavascriptBrowsers()">Click here</a>
No onclick handler or false return value needed - the javascript: uri
method causes the function to be invoked when the link is clicked,
with no other action taken.
