Hyperlinked Alert

@OddballMay 04.2004

Just a tip from me…I found a way to make an alert box from a hyperlink, via a function. I use it for a copyright notice….so could you. Here it is:::

[code] <script language=”Javascript” type=”text/javascript”> function copyright(){ alert(“COPYRIGHT (customize)”) } </script>

<a href=”javascript:copyright()”>Alert Box</a> [/code]

And that is how you do it!!!

Isn’t that clever (and useful)?

@scottymacMay 04.2004 — #it would be better as:

&lt;script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; function copyright() { alert("COPYRIGHT (customize)") } &lt;/script&gt;
 
 &lt;a href="#" onclick="copyright();return false;"&gt;Alert Box&lt;/a&gt;

@OddballauthorMay 04.2004 — #Well, yeah, but it't totally up to you.... ?

@scottymacMay 04.2004 — #and if its just an alert, one doesn't need a function, but anyway its implemented is fine

Neither clever, nor useful, nor the way of doing it.

- language attribute has been deprecated for 5 years now

- no such thing as javascript: protocol

- if you need to attach script to a link you use onclick event.

- since in your example the link does not point to a resource, there is no need to use anchor attribute for envoking your alert - span would suffice:

<span onclick="someFunction()">Click to run a script</span>

:rolleyes:

@OddballauthorMay 04.2004 — #Thanks. That really helps. I think Ill leave here now. Well done, mate.

@scottymacMay 04.2004 — #however, building on it could use the purpose of onclick="return confirm('Go?')" which would require the anchor tag
