Hi there! This is my first post on this forum, but I have been watching it for quite a while now.
My question is if anyone knows if it's possible to attach a javascript to a link? I am trying to do a -alizer that changes some defined words into something else, using javascript.
Something like "if(document.all){document.body.innerHTML=document.body.innerHTML.replace('Some word','Something else')}"
Is it possible to run that script on another page? I know that the most -alizers is built in asp, but I don't know something about asp, so...

Hmm.... I'm a little confused on what you are trying to do here.

But generally there are 2 ways to attach JS to a link
<a href="javascript:your code here"> That's one method. The other way is with the onClick event.

<a href="#" onClick="your code here"> The "#" keeps the link from going anywhere.

No, I mean something like this: (this only changes the word google on the page where the button is)

code:
<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript">

function ChangeWords() 

	{    

		location.replace('http://www.google.com');

		if(document.all){document.body.innerHTML=document.body.innerHTML.replace('Google','Snooble')}

	}

</script>

</head>



<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<INPUT type=button onClick="ChangeWords();" name=MyLittleButton VALUE="SnoogleGoogle">



</body>

</html>

hokay now I get it.

What you can do is open the window with JS

daWin = window.open("location.html','mywin','menubar,toolbar,location,directories,status,scrollbars,resizable,dependent');

then you can access the HTML by name

dawin.document.body.innerHTML.replace('word','WORD');

Oki, Ive done this after bitdamaged's example. It SHOULD work, but it does'nt. What's wrong?

code:
<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript">

function ChangeWords() 

	{    

		var address = "http://www.google.com";

		var toolbar  = 1;    

		var adressbar  = 1;    

		var directories  = 1;    

		var statusbar  = 1;    

		var menubar  = 1;    

		var scrollbar  = 1;    

		var resize  = 1;    

		var bredd;   

		var hojd;                 

		var option = "toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + adressbar + ",directories=" 

		+ directories + ",status=" + statusbar + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars="  

		+ scrollbar + ",resizable=" + resize + ",width=" + bredd + ",height=" + hojd;

		var win3 = window.open("", "what_I_want", option);  

		var win4 = window.open(address, "what_I_want");		

		win4.document.body.innerHTML.replace('Google','Hallå!')

	}

</script>

For security reasons, you can't change content of pages that didn't originate from your web server (IE will throw "Access is denied" error)...

But how does the ASP-lizers work then? Does anyone have an ASP -alizer file to show me? I can never see the actual asp-file because they just redirect or something....

What's ASP-lizers? Do you refer to some ASP script or something else?

Thats something done with server side scripting. Basically in most languages you can do an HTTP_GET and download the source code, change it and then display the results.

As said above, this is done on the server-side (it can't be done on the client-side with JavaScript). And generally, this isn't very easy. Fetching file from remote server is only thing that's easy here. Now, besides words that you want to change, you *must* change all relative links (<IMG> tags, <A> tags, everything with SRC parameter) so that they point to the correct address (you should add address of the site from where you're fetching remote file) and this isn't very easy, because there are many different combinations how people can write HTML code, so you'll have to use (or write your own) HTML parser, that will parse all HTML tags and modify appropriate tags...

well, thanks all for your help, but I really suck at server side scripting so I give up for now and I will try it again when I've learnt some sss-languge...
