Answer 1

href="javascript:somefunction();" is just a way to point to a function of some javascript code.

You can also do: href="#" onclick="somefunction();return false;"

Nothing really dojo about it. All it does is call the function or javascript code. It just tells the element to use javascript.

or href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="somefunction();" as stated already.
