Oh, I get it. Not a bad approach I suppose.

If the links are identifiable, by css classes or by the id of the
container they live in, this approach will work (since the desired
behaviour is js based anyway):

<!-- HTML -->

<ul id="nav">
  <li><a href="#">Lorem</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Ipsum</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Dolor</a></li>
</ul>

// Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
function close() {
  // whatever...
}

function onClickEventsForLinks() {
  var linkContainer = document.getElementById('nav');
  var linkCollection = linkContainer.getElementsByTagName('a');

  for(var i=0;i<linkCollection.length;i++) {
    linkCollection[i].onclick=close;
  }
}

window.onload=onClickEventsForLinks
</script>

Obviously, this could be adapted if there are links with special
classes by checking for linkCollection[i].className inside the loop...
