href with vbscript sub

I'm getting the error massage "Expected end of statement".

sub setPageToPanels(Img1, Img2, Img3, Img4, Panel)
      panel=Panel
      document.getElementById("img1st").src=Img1
      document.getElementById("img2nd").src=Img4
      document.getElementById("img3rd").src=Img3
      document.getElementById("img4th").src=Img4
end sub

<a href="#" onclick="setPageToPanels '/xb1.jpg', '/xb2.jpg', '/xb3.jpg', '/xb4.jpg', 'exterior back' return false" target="_parent" id="XB">Back</a>

Try using this:

onclick="setPageToPanels('/xb1.jpg', '/xb2.jpg', '/xb3.jpg', '/xb4.jpg', 'exterior back'); return false"

If I try that line of code I get the message "Cannot use parentheses when calling a sub".
If I remove the parentheses but leave the ";" I get the original error message.

Just investifating something. Does this work?

onclick="setPageToPanels '/xb1.jpg', '/xb2.jpg', '/xb3.jpg', '/xb4.jpg', 'exterior back'"

or this?

onclick="Call setPageToPanels('/xb1.jpg', '/xb2.jpg', '/xb3.jpg', '/xb4.jpg', 'exterior back'); return false"

I tried omitting the "return false" but it moves forward. I also tried the call and that didn't work but I rewrote the sub to a javascript function and that seems to work. Thanks
