Redirecting to dynamically defined hyperlink in Netscape

peeved · Sep 13, 2000

All I'm trying to do is use a hypertext link built from a variable (see attached code)

It works in internet explorer, but not Netscape?

Anybody know how this can be achieved in Netscape?

Thanks!

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript">
function selectChange()
{
// alert('i am a load');
ARTIST_SEARCH='

http://www.dotmusic.com';

// alert(ARTIST_SEARCH);
}

//--->

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="selectChange()">
<a href="artist.search" ID=ARTIST_SEARCH>click here 
</BODY>
</HTML>

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for but it does work in both NN and IE. I know there is a way to transfer variables to HTML using some combo like {%var%} or something but I can't remember what that is and the doc I had that referenced this is gone.

Code:

<html>
<body>
 Here is some stuff<br>
 <script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
  var arrLinks=new Array(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.microsoft.com&quot;,&quot;http://www.netscape.com&quot;);[/URL]
  var arrNames=new Array(&quot;Visit Microsoft&quot;,&quot;Visit Netscape&quot;);
  
  for (var i in arrLinks){
   document.write(&quot;<a href=&quot; + arrLinks[i] + &quot;>&quot; + arrNames[i] + &quot;</a><br>&quot;);
  }
 </script> 
 Here is some more stuff
</body>
</html>

Another solution:

Code:

<script>
 var arrLinks=new Array(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.microsoft.com&quot;,&quot;http://www.netscape.com&quot;);[/URL]
 var curLink=1;
</script> 
... some actions can change curLink.
<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.opera.com/&quot;[/URL] onclick=&quot;this.href=arrLinks[curLink]; return true;&quot;>...
