It works for me. Perhaps your URL isn't returning anything -- are you sure 
'http://localhost/app/function1.html/?s=' 
+ parameter generates the correct URL and returns the expected output? In 
particular, the "parameter" variable should be a previously defined 
Javascript variable -- does it exist? Or is it supposed to be a Python 
variable, in which case the code would be:

A('Link', _href="#" _onclick="jQuery(this).fadeOut(); \
  
web2py_component('http://localhost/app/function1.html/?s=%s'<http://localhost/app/function1.html/?s=>,
 
'myid'); \
  return false;" % parameter)

Note, I also added a dummy _href above so the link will appear clickable on 
the page.
