HELP! Make text appear after clicking a link?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

What I want to do is make a link appear after a user clicks a link, which would make a new tab open. So basically, the user clicks the link and it opens in a new tab, and back on the website a link appears.

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('newLink.htm');this.style.display='none'">Click Me</a>[/code]

But that just opens it to a new tab. No new text displays after clicking it.

@TheBearMayJun 25.2010 — Several ways to do that but the straightest is probably similar to:

[code=html]<a href="#" onclick="window.open('newLink.htm');this.style.display='none';document.getElementById('newLink').style.display='inline'">Click Me</a>
<a href="#" onclick="dosomething()" style="display:none" id="newLink">Click Here to Continue</a>[/code]
