    document.links["id"].href -> Browsersafe?

    Does this work in most browsers, namely MSIE?

    document.links["idOfTheElement "].href

    or does it have to be

    document.links[0].href

    ?

    Thanks and cheers,
    Konrad

      Why not try it?

      <body onload="alert(d ocument.links['test'].href);">
      <a href="test.html " id="test">A Link</a>

      The above works in Mozilla 1.5a, not IE

      <body onload="alert(d ocument.links(' test').href);">
      <a href="test.html " id="test">A Link</a>

      The above works in IE, not Mozilla 1.5a

      <body onload="alert(d ocument.getElem entById('test') .href);">
      <a href="test.html " id="test">A Link</a>

      The above works in IE 6SP1, Mozilla 1.5a and Opera 7.11. I didn't check
      the first two test in Opera because each failed in at least one of the
      two major browsers you probably want to support. Also, simply because I
      provided specific browser versions does not mean it won't work in early
      versions, it simply means those are the versions I tested the code with.

          The links collection seems to support the item method in both IE 6 and Netscape 7:

          <a href="a.htm" id='a1' name='anchor1'
          onclick="alert( document.links. item('a1').name ); return false;"[color=blue]
          >Anchor Name</a>[/color]

          Not an expert. FWIW.
