Now this worls fine in all browsers except IE5 and Opera, doesd anyone have anmy cluse as to why, I've done some searching but have found no news on it.

The onclick event handler needs to supress the links default behavior to navigate to what's specified in the href attribute.
It should be like this:

<a href="#" onClick="myFunc(); return false"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

i'm not sure whether anchors support onClick event handler... here's how you can go around....

<a href="javascript:myFunc(); return false;"><img src=image.gif"></a>

Yes, they support the onClick event handler...
See correct code below.

If you put the event to him onClick, has preference href that you put to him. So that he makes case to which you wish you would have to put: there <a href="javascript:void(null) "onclick="myFunc()">
Being able even to call same to your function
<a href =" javascript:void(null);myFunc()">
