Keep the #1 as the href

Keep the #1 as the href (that is what it s really there for), and run actual javascript from the onclick attribute:

<a href="#1" onclick="highlightCode('1');">TEXT TEXT</a>

If you need multiple Javascript calls them selves, you can separate then with a semicolon, or create a new function that calls them both.

One added feature of using the onclick, it will check to see what value is returned by the javascript call. If it gets a "false" value, it will not process the href portion.

<a href="/regularlink.php" onclick="return FormNotUpdated();">TEXT TEXT</a>

If "FormNotUpdated" returns true it will follow the link, otherwise it will not go anywhere.
