The following works fine in links-2 too:

--------
<script language=javascript>
function openurl(p)
{
    location = 'http://localhost/' + p;
}
</script>
<a href='javascript:openurl("tests/")'>js link</a>
---------

visiting a 'js link' brings me to http://localhost/tests/ . So it can be used
for some sites involving js for navigation.

 :)

 In fact, I've never seen any version of links dumping core (though I use it
only to read complex html tables) in the past 2 years.
