Hi, I have this JavaScript, which I only want to occur if a user clicks on a
hyperlink hotspot in a large image:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var answer = confirm ("This link is not available, click OK to load a
similar link, or Cancel to not.")
if (!answer)
window.location="http://www.yahoo.com/"
// -->
</script>
To make matters more challenging, there are about 10 hotspots in the image,
and I want them each to have a different value for window.location. I.e. if
the user clicks OK in each hotspot, each one will redirect them to a
different site.
Any clever-clogs out there who can help out? :)
Thanks in advance.

Probably you mean "execute".

Nonsense.
var answer = confirm ("This link is not available, click OK to load a
similar link, or Cancel to not.")
Utter nonsense. What about users without client-side script support? If you
discover that a link does not work, remove it (the link, not necessarily
its content). If you want to work around broken links until you have time
to fix them (one way or the other), do that server-side, not (only)
client-side.
And stop crossposting to alt.* and the Big Eight (incl. comp.*).

Any ideas guys?

Thanks Vic but I'm quite new to this. Could you kindly show me the exact
code to 'copy and paste'? Then I can understand it for next time. Not sure
about onClick etc. Thanks again. :)

There's nothing wring with that by Big-8 rules.
German hierarchy rules are irrelevant here.
Please stop being a Kontrol Freak, and engage a good psychiatrist.
As you must realise, I don't find German quick to read. Are users of

(ISTM from what they post that they may well be? Perhaps MH would
venture an unprejudiced opinion.

going to send them to, and simply cancel the click if they choose
cancel:
<area href="http://www.yahoo.com"

If you add a 'target' attribute to your link on a page that is NOT
contained in frames it will open a new window, i.e., a popup window....

Yep that I know, but there are many links on this page and none of them are
blocked by Google's popup blocker, except the one with the code you gave for
the confirmation prompt. Bizarre.
PS: Is it possible to insert a line break in the text that appears in the
prompt confirmation box?

\n is a new line in the confirmation.
confirm('This is\n text with a \n linebreak')
Same thing with an alert

Probably an attempt at detecting which popups follow from user interaction
and which doesn't. Since the last click made with the mouse before the popup
attempts to open was to the alert window, and not the page itself, it counts
as an unrequested popup.
It's just a guess, but it could explain the observed behavior.

Yes, newline is \n not /n.

You used /n instead of \n, note the different slash.
