Hi,if I understood well the first example is not acceptable for the accessibility requirements, while the second one is O.K.1) <a href="http://www.parcogeradadda.it" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"><img src="parcogera.jpg" alt="parco" style="border-style:none" /></a><br />2) <a href="http://www.parcogeradadda.it" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to view this page?');"><img src="parcogera.jpg" alt="parco" style="border-style:none" /></a><br />BUT the first one opens a new window, while the second, after asking for confirmation, opens a window in place of the current one.Is there any mean to combine both and having a new window that opens IN ADDITION to the current one, after receiving the confirmation ?Thank youregardsGabriele

Instead of returning the value from confirm, use it in an if statement to open a new window.

Maybeonclick="confirm('Are you sure you want to view this page?'); window.open(this.href);"

It's not that difficult to learn, and if you're going to be doing this kind of thing you'll need to learn eventually.

if (confirm('Are you sure you want to view this page?'))   window.open(this.href); return false;

Maybeonclick="confirm('Are you sure you want to view this page?'); window.open(this.href);"

---------------------thank you,it seems it doesn't work: it opens twice the link, once in a new window and once replacing the current window.gabriele

-----------------------wonderful !it works perfectly !!!I know I should learn java, but I should also learn PHP, and a lot of other things but I do it as hobby...it is not my work (I'm a chemist).Thanks to people like you that are always ready to help I already learned quite a lot (I really started from the very beginning).Thank yougabriele

Just so you're clear, Java and JavaScript are entirely different languages.

Well, for accessibility, you should allow the user to decide whether they want to open the link in a new window, and not force that choice upon them. Why do you want the page to be loaded twice anyway?

It was my answer to the suggestion made by Haris S.I don't need the window to open twice.Thanksregardsgabriele
