warning on leaving intranet

[Rydel]

I am designing an Intranet for a company and I would like to have an automatic warning dialog whenever there is a link outside of our intranet (

http://ourIntranet/someFile.asp)

to an outside resource (

http://www.someServer.com/someFile.htm)

and user clicks on it. Of course, I can create "onclick" handler for all links, but this is too cumbersome and difficult to maintain. tt would be much better if there was a generic way to issue this warning "once and for all". All Intranet users have IE5.0 or IE5.5 (what a blessing! ) Any help greatly appreciated!

One method I have used in the past for a similar effect is to script it (I've used either Perl or ColdFusion for this):

Set each external link on your intranet to something like leaving.asp?url=outside.com

Then code your script so that your message appears, then redirects to outside.com after 15 seconds (or something similar)

You could do the same type of thing with just javascript. Something like this:

function externalLink(theUrl) {
   alert("You are leaving our IntraNet!");
   document.location = theUrl;
}
...
<a href=&quot;javascript:externalLink(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]www.somewhere.com/somepage.html&quot;)>Go[/URL] somewhere</a>
