Don't use the language attribute.

Ridiculous and inaccessible (whatever it is supposed to do.)

No it doesn't. You have been advised to do something stupid. Agents
without script or with script disabled will feature a link that does
nothing.

If you can explain just what it is you are trying to do, perhaps you
will get some competent advice.

If you are new to Web development, then why are you trying to write
scripted enhancements. You should concentrate on creating proper
static documents first. Worry about scripting later.

A what of a what? This is what I am talking about. You are jumping
in with both feet before you know what you are getting into.

Which is hardly surprising. What made you think it would?

I also tried:
<a href="../mystaticlink.ht m?parameter="+j avascript:getOb jURL()
target="_blank" ...>Linktext</a>

Programming by trial and error is not recommended.

<a href="../mystaticlink.ht m?parameter=<%j avascript:getOb jURL()%>"

You are officially lost.

target="_blank" ...>Linktext</a>
... and some other stupid things.

Why are you wasting time with stupid things? Have you tried reading
about the subject?

I haven't the slightest idea what you are trying to do here.

I wonder if we will get any reply on this one taking into
consideration that the OP just uttered the magic words; *it
works*. :-)

Another webpage atrocity meets the public. And I suppose the "solution"
gets copied thousands of times.

Of course. I wonder what the blind community thinks of the Web. A
useless compendium of random gibberish? Google's excuse is they
"can't please everyone." It should be illegal (and is in some
countries, IIRC.) Perhaps that is the only way to take Website
development out of the hands of incompetents.

Good link. I can't understand why, with all of the special interest
groups out there, nobody has taken Google to court on their numerous
accessibility barriers. Maybe then their "engineers" (quotes indicate
I once talked to one about this subject and he was no engineer) will
get the point.
