When building a link that has the sole purpose to run JavaScript code, there are 2 ways to write the code. Which is better, in terms of functionality, page load speed, validation purposes, etc?

<a href="#" onclick="myJsFunc();">Run JavaScript Code</a>

or

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();">Run JavaScript Code</a>
