This is my code

 // Register onclick
 var old_onclick = link.onclick;

 link.onclick = function() {
  astr_track_action(param);

  if(typeof(old_onclick) == "function")
   old_onclick();
 }

And this is the html

<a onclick="alert('hello!');" href="http://www.google.com?acme=link&foo=bar">To google!</a>

When I click the link, the alert pops up. But when I override the onclick with my JS code, the alert does not pop up.

Any ideas?

Edit: I just want to add, I have debugged and confirmed that old_onclick() is run, but no alert message shows up.

Edit: Here is the full code from the loop start. I don't see how it's relevant, but it was requested:

for(var i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++)
{
    var link = document.links[i];
    var eventlink = link.href.split("acme=");

    if(eventlink.length > 1)
    {
        var param = eventlink[1].split("&")[0];
        var newlink = link.href;

        // Register onclick
        var old_onclick = link.onclick;

        link.onclick = function() {
            astr_track_action(param);

            if(typeof(old_onclick) == "function")
                old_onclick();
        }
