Well, the goal of making an onclick event was circumnavigated by adding some css and a background image to the <a> tag like so:

#topnav a{
font-weight:bold;
font-size:18px;
width:191px;
height:55px;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
}

#topnav a:link, a:visited{
color:#000000;
background-color:transparent;
background-image:url(<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>/images/home-primary_nav.jpg);
}

#topnav a:hover, a:active{
color:#ffffff;
background-color:#000000;
background-image:none;
}

Therefore . . . no need to alter anything. Case closed for this I suppose, but it really would be nice to know if I can alter the start_el in the template’s functions.php document. Thoughts?

To be a little more descriptive of what I’m trying to accomplish:

I’d like to modify the output of wp_list_pages to include a javascript onclick command on the <li> but I can’t seem to get the unique url for each <a> that wp_list_pages is generating.

essentially, it should look like this:
<li class="page_item current_page_item" onclick="location.href=' the page url';" style="cursor:pointer;"><a href=" the page url">The page</a>

I’ve tried to use get_page_link($page->ID), but it returns the same post url for each instance (rather than a page url).

As such, I’ve turned to modifying the start_el entry in classes.php, but I’d rather not make this modification each time I install WP or update it. Is there a way to override the start_el function local to the template? Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Any ideas?
