Alert Links

When you're directing a user to another site or another part of your site and you want to be certain that they understand they're leaving your site or going to a specific different part of yours. The JavaScript alert in conjunction with a plain hyperlink (with a simple addition) may suit your needs. In the example below there are two hyperlinks (one set to open in a new window), both hyperlinks have additional code (onClick="LinkAlert()"),so when they're clicked to run the script named LinkAlert which will force an alert box informing the user of their new destination (in this case Yahoo!) and once they've clicked OK the browser will continue on to the new location.
