NYCPHP Meetup

[Rob Marscher]

Basically, you have a regular <a> tag link that goes to the location  
you want, but you also have an onclick javascript event for that link  
that does the ajax stuff and returns false so that the browser  
doesn't request the href part of the tag.  Ideally, you'll have an  
onload event to your page that attaches all these onclick events to  
your links so that you don't even have inline javascript.
