Javascript Links

Hi there,

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how you make javascript links please? Like Chris links to other pages, but the link actually reads on this site (if ya get me)!

Mike

a javascript link can be made any number of ways

<a href = "javascript:void" onclick = "window.open(url);">

would be one.

Thanks,

Will this mean my PR will not go down if I am linking to other sites please?

If you link like that, no it will not go down.

Thanks Chris...

I have the following:

Code:

---

<a href = "javascript:void" onclick = "window.open('links.html');" class="cssclass" title="title of link">LINKS</a>

---

Would that be OK please?

Sorry for all the bother...

yes

Thanks for all the help:)

Hi all,

It's a new issue but since there are may common points i thought it is a good idea to post here.

Will search engines follow such a link?

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadUrl(newLocation)
{
  window.location.href = newLocation;
}
</script>

<a href="http://somesite.com" onclick="loadUrl(this.href); return false;">link-1</a>

---

What is your opinions?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

yes.

what about this one?

<a href="java script:void" class="menu" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.domain.com'; return false;">domain.com</a>

that should work.

A better way is to do

<script language = "javascript">
document.write('<a hre' + 'f = "ht' + 'tp://ww' + 'w.dom' + 'ain.com">text</a>');
</script>

If you really want to use javascript. There is nothing there that a search engine can parse a url from.

it worked! many thanks

(for other readers there is a typo in Chris' last post)
not <script language = "javascript>
<script language = "javascript">

just wanted to note it

how do u create a javascript link ? without opening another window ?

i tried this
<a href = "javascript:void" onclick = "window.open(url);">

but it seems to come up a error for me

that'd still open another window,

using top.href or self.href should work without opening another window.

Bringing an old topic back...

I hope to have a javascript menu as top navigation, with the rest being text links. It won't really matter as all the important pages will be linked to with text links. So my question is would the following be ok? Or would it pass PR on?

Code:

---

<a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image10','','images/b1r.jpg',1)">
<img src="images/b1.jpg" name="Image10" width="95" height="19" border="0"></a>
<a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image4','','images/b2r.jpg',1)">
<img src="images/b2.jpg" name="Image4" width="70" height="19" border="0"></a>

Thanks,
Mike
