HREF Function called twice when I click on a menu item image

Hello. I'm having a problem using <img> item items that reference javascript functions in my menus. Specifically, it appears that, when I click on these images, the javascript function is invoked *twice*. This only happens in internet explorer 5.5, sp2.

For example, suppose I set up my menu like this:

Code:

addmenu(menu=[
"_vpToolbarMenuBar", 
112, 
186, 
, 
0,
,
_vpDefaultMenuBarStyle,
1, 
"left",
,,
1,
,  
,  
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,"Actions","show-menu=menu1","#",,1
,"Properties","show-menu=menu2","#",,1
,"&nbsp;<img  src=\"images/icon_viewgraph_off.gif\" border=\"0\" title=\"View Graph\">&nbsp","javascript:if(doNothing())document.location=\"ft_index.html\"  ",,,0
])

Note that the last menu element (an image that appears directly on the menu bar) has a javascript statement as an href, which calls the "doNothing" function. When I click the image, that function is called twice.

This doesn't happen with non-image menu items.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?

Thanks.
