     I do not understand how that answers my question.  The only this
reference that I see is in the onclick, and would that not refer to
the anchor?

     If I understand the second bit correctly, you are changing the
behaviour of the onclick (I am not sure of this), but I do not see
that you are changing the this value.

Sincerely,
