You won't be able to get direct URLs to the various sites, as they are
stored in the site's database.

You can produce links to the site's CGI script, but if you were to place
them on an another website, you'd end up leeching off of the UK Property
Shop server's bandwidth.

It is not if one uses those nonsense links, since a spider
cannot follow them. <http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_24>

No, this is client-side scripting triggering a server-side application
via HTTP GET. Would it be only server-side, there were no problem.

RTSL (Read The Source, Luke ;-)). The "JavaScript links" call a method
named "openAgentSite" . That method is defined within the third "script"
element of the document. Stripping information irrelevant here, only

| function openAgentSite(a _uid){
| [...]
| "/cgi-bin/agentframe.pl?s ite=UKP&amp;s=e state&amp;irp=" +a_uid,

is left (where the &amp; are nonsense, though [script data is CDATA
in HTML, not PCDATA], and should not work). So if your UA supports
DOM scripting (DHTML), you may loop over the collection of links to
get the URIs:

var s = "";
for (var i = 0, len = document.links. length, s2; i < len; i++)
{
s2 = document.links[i].toString();
if (/^javascript:ope nAgentSite/.test(s2))
{
s += s2.replace(
/javascript:open AgentSite\('([^']+)'\);/,
"/cgi-bin/agentframe.pl?s ite=UKP&s=estat e&irp=$1")
+ "\n";
}
}
alert(s);

The same as spaghetti code to be used in the Location Bar:

javascript:s="" ;len=document.l inks.length;for (i=0;i<len;i++) {s2=document.li nks[i].toString();if(/^javascript:ope nAgentSite/.test(s2)){s+=s 2.replace(/javascript:open AgentSite\('([^']+)'\);/,"/cgi-bin/agentframe.pl?s ite=UKP&s=estat e&irp=$1")+"\n" ;}}alert(s);


Use document.write( ) or DOM Level 1+ methods instead of
alert() to append the URIs to a (new temporary) document.

You are being naive.

For a spider to find a page, it is necessary only that a chain of
spiderable links to that page exists.

That, of itself, is no argument against using some other form of link
where it is thought to be helpful to non-spiders.

There may be a good case for what you want to say; but spurious
arguments to not help.
