How do I change the text on an HREF when clicked...? I need to do something like the following button, for an HREF.

HREF (doesn't work):
<a href="mypage.htm" Onclick="this.value='Loading...Please wait!'">Go There</a>

Button (works fone):
<input name="Save" type="submit" value="Save All" Onclick="this.value='Saving...Please wait!'">

Thanks in advance!

use innerHTML to change the value:

Code:

<script language=JavaScript>

</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='this.innerHTML = "Loading, please wait"'>Click Me</a>
</form>
</body>
