Default trying to make invisible link still function - 06-08-2008 , 07:39 PM






I'm attempting to create a link that is invisible to the user (there
is a background image that contains a letter in a logo which appears
to the user as the link) but will still be clickable. I have made it a
list item so that it can also act as drop down menu on hover, and
I've gotten this part to work even with the visibility set to hidden.
But I also want an onClick function, and I'm finding that this only
works when the item is visible.
Here is was I have for this
<a href="#" style="visibility:hidden" onClick="swaptext('<p>text text
text text text.</p>'); return false">A</a>

Is there any way to do this?

That's alot of reading, but upon skimming thought it I don't see
anything about how to make a link invisible. Is there anyone who can
help me to answer my question?

That's alot of reading,
Indeed, and much more useful than trying to break your page.

By the way, it's relevant stuff, more relevant than a fullquote (quoting
a person's entire message while you only comment on one line).

That's because such an operation both useless and trivial, and it surely
does not help links to be links.

Yes, I would like a refund please. Whenever I post on this group
trying to get an answer, I just get rants and opinions which never
help.

It kind of sounds like the difficulty is a javascript one. Perhaps your
j/s is at fault? More info at comp.lang.javascript.

Btw just in case, links should be inline elements and a url helps
troubleshooting immensely.

Do I need to do something further to define it as an inline element?

Ah but it is a fair enough thing to want some assurance. I sympathise
with all posters in this regard and wish now to announce a new insurance
assurance scheme that I have launched to compensate for reasonable
dissatisfaction with answers in this medium.

Apply to get the SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY insurance for a WHOLE YEAR for the
small fee of $US5 per month. That's $US60. Ask for a year's subscription
to dorayme's USENET ASSURANCE INSURANCE. Guaranteed monetary
compensation for every reasonable dissatisfaction. Hurtful filthy
language can pay big, belittling by both named individuals and
disgusting cowards are all covered.

This offer will NOT last. All sensitive folk, here is your big chance to
get justice.

Probably not per se but I don't know what the j/s function swaptext()
does and you have a parameter '<p>...' therein which, if it replaces
something, is _not_ an inline element.
