First of all
   window.event
is something IE supports but not something the W3C DOM wants so if you 
want to script Mozilla make sure you pass the event object as a 
parameter e.g.
   <a onclick="change(event);"
with
   function change (evt) {
     // access for instance evt.target here
     alert(evt.target);
   }
As for the this object, you have
   <a onclick="change(this)"
and traditionally the toString() value of an <a> element is its href 
attribute, as you don't have a href attribute the alert shows nothing, 
try instead
   <a onclick="change(this);">
with
   function change (obj) {
     alert(obj.tagName)
and you will see that the object passed in is indeed an <a> element.
