Hi!

Example:

<a href='#' onClick='open_read("read.php?id=12");return false;'><img src='images/readmore.jpg' width='63' height='13' border='0'></a>

Cheers - Pit

A better way to make the link would be this:<a href="page.html" onclick="open_read(this.href);return false;">This method will allow the link to work in non-JavaScript browsers and allow users to right click and open in new tab/window should they want to.
