open another page when user clicks on a link 1

[tyutghf]

We have an annual report (as a pdf) on some of our pages and want to gain feedback on this.

At the moment the user clicks the link and the pdf opens, is it possible to click the link and a message pops up asking if the user would like to submit their feedback on the report, if they click yes the annual report pdf opens AND the page they opened from (or a new page) opens up a feedback form page. If they click no just the annual report is opened?

Thanks for any help you can give on this.

Sure. Use a confirm() box to ask the user and act accordingly.

function check_feedback(){
  if(confirm("Do you want to give feedback?")){
  window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.server.com/feedbackpage.html");[/URL]
  return true;
  }
  else{
   return true;
  }
}


...

<a href="report.pdf" onclick="return check_feedback();">
