Possible To Follow Link And Execute Function?

I have a javascript code which makes a word toggle links under it. For example: Before clicking on it it looks like this:
Stories:
then once its clicked on it looks like:
Stories:
story 1
story 2
story 3

How can I make it so when you click stories it creates that list and also goes to story 1. Here is the code I have:
Code:
<h2 style="margin-left : 25px;"><img src="/images/sort_ASC.gif" id="img_DegreeList5" alt="" />
<a href="javascript:toggleDegreeList(5);" style="color:#336699;">Teaching Tales</a></a></h2>
<div id="DegreeList5" style="display:none;">
<ul><ul> <li><a href="teaching_tales1.php">Story 1</a></li>
<li><a href="teaching_tales2.php">Story 2</a></li> </ul></ul>
</div>

And here is the toggledegree script
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var currentDegreeList = null;
function toggleDegreeList(which) {
if(currentDegreeList) {
document.getElementById('DegreeList'+currentDegreeList).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('img_DegreeList'+currentDegreeList).src = '/images/sort_ASC.gif';
}
if(currentDegreeList != which) {
document.getElementById('DegreeList'+which).style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById('img_DegreeList'+which).src = '/images/sort_DESC.gif';
currentDegreeList = which;
}
else {
currentDegreeList = null;
}
}
var submitted = false;
function submitForm() {
var val = (submitted) ? false : true;
submitted = true;
return val;
}
</script>
