"A young web coding enthusiast from Manchester, UK, recently published a thought-provoking hackette intended to highlight the risks of relying only on "look before you click" while browsing the web. With a brief and unexceptional-looking line of JavaScript, he reminds us that the URL your browser displays when you hover over a link isn't necessarily where you will end up.
Your click destination can be changed by his script even after you you click it"

Re: Should JavaScript be allowed to change links after you c
I wish I had the time to respond to your thread with usefull info
but my time consists of javascript study maybe 6 hours a day,
I do have quite a few link site examples I produced. such as color,
redirect's targets time inteval's etc will review them and maybe
have some useful info on your thread.
off topic: I think you would make a good moderator and also
a support staff menber. What do you think folks!
