[Typo3] why <A> tag shows up twice?

Nothing wrong here - everything works as expected.

HMENU -> TMENU -> NO generates a link wrapped in a-tags by default.
The link is created using the part "stdWrap.field = title" making it a link
to the uid of the page showing the title to click on.
Now you told this NO-item to have a before part and an after part. These are
alway _added_ to the original link part, despite you did something like
"doNotLinkIt = 1".

I guess you simply wanted to insert your onclick and onfocus parameters into
the a-tag and you don't need the before part for that. It's done with

ATagParams = onclick="return toggleSubmenu(this)";

Have a look at TSref -> TMENUITEM
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_tsref/TMENUITEM/

And I am not sure if the things you do with the after part can't be solved
in a more comfortable way, by using wrapItemAndSub for the item together
with the wrap-property of the TMENU itself.
Could you provide an example HTML code to show what you want to do?
