Attribute event listeners do not usually have "javascript:" in them.  
Here is an example from Google's home page:
<a href="http://images.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi"  
onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb1>Images</a>
Notice that the onclick value doesn't start with javascript:. You are  
probably thinking of javascript: URLs in links, like this:

<a href="javascript:callSomething()">

You could invent a new URL scheme that runs your scripting language  
instead of JavaScript, but I don't think there is anything you can do  
about onclick handlers, unless you're willing to break compatibility  
with existing Web content.

Maciej
