This looks a bit like trolling.

And you don't think you can have an onclick event in <a>? Or do you want 
to prevent Google & competitors from following the link, at any cost? 
You could use a <span> element with onclick, or you could use a <form> 
with <input type=button> or <button type=button>, but do you fear that 
Google might some was recognize the construct as a link and follow it?

This is compatible with the trolling hypothesis.

Where might getobj() be defined? What does the console say?
