I as well. On both accounts. :)

Um, I'm a little confused as to exactly what you want, but something like
<a href="http:/www.netscape.com/>Click Me</a>

Generally onClick merely processes javascript code, functions to compute
something or modify/check data you've entered.

Maybe a little example javascript? :)
