On my hello username box in the corner, I had the "If you are not USername, please login." With login being an href to the home page like this:

if session(&quot;CandID&quot;) <> &quot;&quot; then
dim helloString
helloString = &quot;<h3>Hello &quot; & session(&quot;UserName&quot;) & &quot;!</h3>&quot;
helloString = helloString & &quot;If you are not &quot; & session(&quot;UserName&quot;) & &quot;<br> please &quot;
helloString = helloString & &quot;<a href='default.shtml'>log in.</a>&quot;
Response.Write helloString
else
etc.

I also want to kill the session variable that was obviously created incorrectly when the user clicks the link. Is there a way to have an onClick on an href?
i.e. session(&quot;CandID&quot;) = &quot;&quot;
session(&quot;UserName&quot;) = &quot;&quot;

Thanks in advance for any help.

kind of like this????? but with session var's
<html>
<head>
<script language=&quot;VBscript&quot;>
Dim var
var = 1
alert var
sub kill()
var = &quot;&quot;
alert var
end sub
</script>
<body>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;kill()&quot;>Kill It</a>

</body>
</html> I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

That worked great.
I wasn't sure if you could put an onClick in an href.

onClick is an event handler for most DOM elements. You could put it on an image, on a paragraph (so that clicking any of the paragraph text would trigger some function), on a table cell, you name it!

However, I have found that NS4 has many retrictions on where it will work. (your milage may vary - see dealer for details)

If you wanted - you could add an onclick to a <u> tag to create your own <a href> functionality. Why would you want to do that is left as a DHTML assignment. :) Einstein47
