Here the links on the second page are set to execute a JavaScript function. In this case a little function which simply hides or shows some table content within the page.

To set a link to execute a JavaScript function, rather than a URL, the Target element of the URL tag should be set to a value of 'javascript'.

It is also impotant that the the 'mayscript' element is included in the <applet> tag.
