Can you make an invisible hyperlink?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 20.2003

Say I have the word “dog” on a webpage. And I want to be able to tell a friend, click on the “o” in the word “dog” at the top of the page. That’s a hyperlink and it’ll take you to the page I want you to see. How can I do that so the hyperlink isn’t apparent? I guess if someone moved their mouse over the link, the pointer would change but I guess that’d be alright. Not much odds of that and it’s not anything sensitive or anything.

</i>&lt;p&gt;d&lt;span onclick="document.location.href='dog.html';"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;g&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;d&lt;a href="dog.html" style="color: black; text-decoration:none; cursor: text;" onmouseover="window.status=''; return true;"&gt;o&lt;/a&gt;g&lt;/p&gt;Note that JavaScript is used to set the status bar to not show the link...

Success!
