What is the Difference between onclick and href="[removed]function name?

Question

Is there any difference between

1 : Link1

and

2 : 

        

Answer 1

There is a difference in functionality, the first doesn't attempt to process a link. The second does.

However, I agree with Coronatus - both methods are not ideal. I would suggest researching unobtrusive JavaScript (perhaps with jQuery) as you could dynamically add a click event to the element.
