... but a necessary kludge with some (broken) web browsers.  The IMP CVS 
has the following checkin comment:

move all href="javascript:..." to href="" onclick="...; return false;"
this should fix the IE+frames+ssl+nt4 problems where IE would drop 
encryption because it thinks that javascript: is a non-secure URL.
