Pop up when clicked on a link....... 1

Dirtrocker · May 29, 2002

Hi folks, wonder if someone might have some ideas on this.
I want to set my links that go outside my site to pup up a window when clicked on, stating "You are transferring outside of this site and that the views of those sites do not reflect the views of this site" and then when they click ok that they understand this or whatever, they move on to the other site.
I am finding out that folks who it should be rather clear to and know all, can't seem to grasp they are leaving one site and going to another and since they know all, they disagree with some of the technical information provided by the other site and I took a beating on it. So now, I am trying to figure a way to make it very clear to them.
Any ideas?

Code:

function warnpage(link) {
 var u = window.open();
 u.document.open();
 u.document.write('<html><a href=&quot;' + link + '&quot;>' + link + '</a></html>');
}

<a href="javascript:warnpage(

http://www.somewhere.com)">go

somewhere</a>

this should get u started
u could also close the window like this

Code:

u.document.close();

Neversleep, thanks!
I think that might just do it. I have to test it all out to see if it something I really want. I hate popups and wonder how much of an irritation it will be. The other thought is to use scripting to make a hover over the link that says Offsite.
