you can assign them explicitly... or you can use the "this" keyword to get
hold of the object reference

<a href="..." onclick="linkClick(this)">...</a>


<script language="javascript">

//variable to hold onto reference between clicks
var oLink = null;

function linkClick(oLinkClicked){
	if(oLink!=null) oLink.className="standardlink";
	oLinkClicked.className="clickedlink";
	oLink = oLinkClicked;
}
</script>
