Answer 1

Move any script to a click event handler instead, with a fallback page for users without JavaScript:

click

The unobtrusive JS champions out there will probably object to the use of the onclick attribute, but the fact is that it works, it's the simplest way to add an event handler and the simplest way to provide an example. For better separation of concerns, you could instead use either a DOM0 onclick property, addEventListener() / attachEvent() or a library.
