first off you should be using dom level 2 events; so onclick should be
click.
second, if the element w/ id, myLinkId, doesnt exist until its placed in the
dom by Ajax.Updater, then simply include it in a script tag in the response
from the server,
<script>
Event.observe('myLinkId', 'click', myFunctionName);
</script>
then set evalScripts:true in the Ajax.Options when you instantiate
Ajax.Updater
and you should be good to go ;)
