</div>

is there another way of doing this

```auto
getURL("javascript:someFunction");

```

I don’t want to use this method because it makes this annoying click sound in IE whenever you do this alerting the user to the fact that I made a javascript call…(i guess that is what is happening at least)…at anyrate I just don’t want to hear the click sound when i call the javascript…
