progress bar still going long after javascript function is done

[msimmons]

This code was dynamicly built via ASP. if I click on the item it runs the javascript function imidiatly but the progress bar sloooooooooooowly goes across. It seems if I click another onclick like this one (the page has a list of these dates) then it dosent do it but then if I click a third then it will again,,, like it only happens on the odd number of clicks.

<a href="JavaScript:void(rateChange('1'));" class="item">
  <img src="images/I.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">
  <img src="images/I.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">
  High Season<br>
  <img src="images/I.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">
  <img src="images/T.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">

</a>

thanks in advance,
