Mimicking an <a href>

[GezH]

Hi.

I want to substitute my <a href=&quot;xxxxx&quot;> for an onclick() which calls a function. In that function I want to ask the user to confirm() an action. If 'ok' is pressed, I want to continue with submitting as if the link had been correct in the first place.

How do I submit() as if the link had been pressed? I don't want it acting as if a form had been submitted, just an href link.

Hope you can help, thanks.

Hey Gez,
I believe using:

window.location = &quot;NewURL&quot;

will load a new URL into the window, which is what a clicked link would have done.

you mean like so?

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
	function confirmLink() {
		return confirm(&quot;Are you sure?&quot;);
	}
</script>

<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ebay.com/&quot;[/URL] onclick=&quot;return confirmLink();&quot;>ebay</a>
