OK, I guess this site can not fit your requirement:(

Actually, only one page for entire site which the normal users can see(another page is system admin).... For all links, they are some kind of Ajax stuff, mean your page does not refresh entirely, only necessary content is loaded. This makes the site running very fast(initial loading is slow and the hosting maybe a problem as it is just 128M VPS)

I agree that JS-only links are a not a good approach. This forces the user to relinquish control over how they explore the information space.

It is perfectly feasible to have a hyperlink to an actual page (i.e. a 'normal' hyperlink) and then run some JS on the click event to achieve the current behaviour.

This will ensure your links work when there is no JS and when people just want to right- or middle-click a link. A normal left-click on the link will activate the JS as is currently the case. Best of both worlds.
