<script type="text/javascript">
function newA() {
for (i=0;i<3;i++) {
var a = window.frames[0].document.creat eElement("a");
var t = window.frames[0].document.creat eTextNode("anch or" + i);
a.setAttribute( "href", "#");
a.onclick = parent.h_click;
a.appendChild(t );
window.frames[0].document.body. appendChild(a);
}
}
function h_click() {
alert('ciao!');
return false;
}
</script>

Works in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030904

Note that you shouldn't be setting HREF to "javascript:... " <url:
http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_24 /> and you should be returning false
from the onclick event.

Oddly enough, the links don't appear with the correct text decoration in
the version of Mozilla I tested it in. Nor does the mouse cursor change
when I roll over them. However, when clicked, they do alert "ciao!".
