Running Javascript when Link is clicked

Ok i am fairly new to Javascript programming. What i need to do is make a HTML webpage. On this webpage i will be placing a few links. What i need is to find out how i can make it so when a link is clicked a few lines of Javascript execute. Currently for testing purposes i am running my javascript in the head header of my HTML page. What needs to be done in order to achieve my goal.

Code is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you use the onmouseclick parameter in the link tag.

Code:

---

<script language="javascript">
function whoozie(){
//code
//code
end function
</script>

later on in your page...

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:whoozie();">Click here</a>

Language has been deprecated in favor of type, and the language for the value of the intrinsic event should be defined in a meta declaration.

Code:

---

<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function foo() {
}
</script>

<p><a href="going_here_if_no_js.html" onclick="foo(); return false">click me</a></p>
