Hi everybody, I'm a total beginner using Javascript and I would like to know how can I get in a variable the url of hyperlinks? I want to do something like a status bar of mozilla (not a bar) but just get the urls no matter the extension of the hyperlinks (.html, .php, .pdf, etc). So please I need your help :) . Thanks

Welcome to TSDN!
There is an attribute href of a Tag.
Try to access this.
Have an example. -
var links = document.links;
-
for(var i=0;i<links.length;i++)
-
alert(links[i].getAttribute('href'));
-
Good Luck.
Kind regards,
Dmjpro.
Thank you, but as I say I'm a total beginner (hehehe) so my next question is where can I try it? XD.

on a HTML page with all the <a> tags with the name "links"
Try going here it's a tutorial on javascript.
Thanks everybody, I follow all the advices and read the javascript tutorial, they were really useful. However, it seems like js only accept (as the first suggestion) the <a> tags with an specific URL in a Web page. My objetive is make a extension for a navigator (Mozilla), it should detect the hyperlinks no matter the web page I open. I need to take the URL's from the hyperlinks (as a status bar) and modify or send an alert before the client access the Web page. As I tell you before, the detection of the hyperlinks must be in any page of the Web. So I don't know if js is the correct option for do that or should I do it in another programming language?.
Thanks again for your help, and I'm sorry if I do stupid questions hehehe!

Javascript would only work within the current page. How are you accessing the URLs? Can you give a complete example of hat you are trying to do? Also note that Javascript cannot be used for cross-domain scripting.

hmmmm ...
but for an extension you may retrieve the references and build up your own list ... even your own page from it ... so you may do whatever you want with that after 'making it your own' :) ... it could act like a content filter ... what i would assume that the extension should be for?
kind regards
Ok guys thanks for help me again, I was discussing with my professor about the possibility to create this, and we concluded that javascript is a language for extend the functionality of html, so the hyperlinks must have a reference (<a href></a>), thus, is impossible to be in a Web site or Web page if we don't know the direction. In other words, it happens when we want to know how a place look like and we'd never been in that place, even worse if we don't have the address, obius we never know exactly how it looks!!!, that's why we need references about where we want to go before modify something in the fuction. So my new question is how can I know the thing that I'm click is a hyperlink? do the event hadler (onmouseover, onclick) help me?
Thanks for your help again and I'm sorry if I cannot answer before... XD

I'm using a number of hyperlinks on an Intranet I'm developing which refer
to documents on a network server. The URLs I'm using have the form:
file://<server>/<path>/<file>.pdf
<server> is an UNC path, like: \\hostname
They work perfectly in IE, but not in Opera or Firefox. I can't see any
reason why not - is the form correct? Any other ideas?
