Question

I want to call a function from a file using href. Below is my javascript code:

 function createtable() {
   function displaytable(argument) {
     var tr=document.createElement('tr');
     for (var i=0; i < argument.length; i++) {
       var td=document.createElement('td');
       if (i == 0) {
         td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
       }
       if (i == 1) {
         td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
       }
       if (i == 3) {
         td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
       }
       if (i == 2) {
         td.ondblclick= function () {
         var column_index= (this.cellIndex) -1;
         var row_index= (this.parentNode.rowIndex);
         search_cell(row_index,column_index);
       }
       td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(argument[i]));
     }
     tr.appendChild(td);
    }
    document.getElementById('table_body').appendChild(tr);
  }
  document.write("<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>INDEX</th><th>--CELL NAME--</th><th>--PIN NAME--</th><th>--PG PIN--</th></tr><tbody id='table_body'></tbody></table>");

 for (var x=0; x < array_cells.length; x++) {
  displaytable([x+1,array_cells[x].cell,array_cells[x].pins,array_cells[x].pg_pins])
 }
 function search_cell(row_index,column_index) {

//Want to call this function using href
}
}

Your question is not clear. But this is what I understand you want:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Column 1</td>
        <td>Column 2</td>
        <td>Column 3</td>
        <td><a href="#" id="link1">Function 1</a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

For the JS part:

<script type="text/javascript">

    function doSomething( data ) {
        alert(data + ' clicked');
    }

    document.getElementById('link1').onclick = function () {
        doSomething( this.innerHTML );

        return false;
    }

</script>
