Can a Hyperlink call a Javascript confirm prompt?

03-17-2006

Hi, I have this JavaScript, which I only want to occur if a user clicks on a
hyperlink hotspot in a large image:

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

To make matters more challenging, there are about 10 hotspots in the image,
and I want them each to have a different value for window.location. I.e. if
the user clicks OK in each hotspot, each one will redirect them to a
different site.

Any clever-clogs out there who can help out?

Thanks in advance.

Try setting the href="http://www.yahoo.com/" and onClick="return confirm("Do
you really want Yahoo?')"

Thanks Vic but I'm quite new to this. Could you kindly show me the exact
code to 'copy and paste'? Then I can understand it for next time. Not sure
about onClick etc. Thanks again.

There's nothing wring with that by Big-8 rules.

German hierarchy rules are irrelevant here.

Please stop being a Kontrol Freak, and engage a good psychiatrist.

As you must realise, I don't find German quick to read. Are users of
de.c.l.j as disgusted with your arrogance as so many of us here are
(ISTM from what they post that they may well be? Perhaps MH would
venture an unprejudiced opinion.

Hmm, any idea why some popup blockers such as Google's seem to block the
link from opening when OK is clicked?

If you add a 'target' attribute to your link on a page that is NOT
contained in frames it will open a new window, i.e., a popup window....

Yep that I know, but there are many links on this page and none of them are
blocked by Google's popup blocker, except the one with the code you gave for
the confirmation prompt. Bizarre.
