Link to config does not work.

          function ChangeMenu(servlet, type) {
          document.MainForm.disp.value     = 1;
          document.MainForm.abaction.value = type;
          document.MainForm.action         = servlet;
          document.MainForm.submit();
      }
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" nonce="{$vNonce}">

Try this -

 <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"  nonce="{$vNonce}">
        function ChangeMenu(servlet, type) {
            alert('success');
            //document.MainForm.disp.value = 1;
            //document.MainForm.abaction.value = type;
            //document.MainForm.action = servlet;
            //document.MainForm.submit();
        }
 
       function init() {
            document.getElementById("config").addEventListener("click", ChangeMenu('Admin', 'config'));
        }

        window.addEventListener('load', init);

</script>

What is the Mainform property? I think you don't declare right the MainForm property.If you post the HTML code of the form I think that we can be more efficient to our answers.

MainForm is the form name. It has multiple links defined using xsl if else.
MainForm calls the menu.xsl <xsl:call-template name="menu"/> template which has the javascript for function ChangeMenu

    <script type="text/javascript" nonce="{$vNonce}" >
          document.addEventListener('DOMContentReady', function () {
              window.document.getElementById("config").addEventListener('click', ChangeMenu('Admin','config'));
            });
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" nonce="{$vNonce}" >
          document.addEventListener('DOMContentReady', function () {
              document.getElementById('receipt').addEventListener('click', ChangeMenu('Admin','receipt'));
            });
    </script>

    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0">
