Call function from menu item

[saw15]

I am new to JS and trying to use a menu item to call a function... i.e.

This is what I want:
var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href=update('logon')>Logon</a>'

This is what it was:
var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href="

http://cnn.com">CNN</a>'

Any help is appreciated,

There are 2 ways to call a function with an anchor tag. One in on the onclick, the other is with the href.

Assuming you have a function named update, you can do this (with your example)

menu1[0]='<a href="javascript:update(\"logon\")">Logon</a>';

OR

menu1[0]='<a href="#" onclick="update(\"logon\"); return false'">Logon</a>';
