Hi,

Use following

HTML

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPage('Budget')">Budget</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPage('NAM')">NAM</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPage('Rules')">Rules</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPage('Contacts')">Contacts</a>

JavaScript

<script lang="javascript">
function openPage(page)
{
    //you can write logic here to open page.
    alert("You clicked on :" + page);
}
</script>
