Look, Peter,
I know about you in this forum for a while and I do respect you and your 
advices given now and than for more than three years now.
It is interesting that I re-realize that I use very few links in my pages 
and when I do that I refuse to use the classical A href tag from the 
beggining of my first codes. I still use moseover, mousedown, mouse up, 
events to animate, navigate etc and get that original looks of my href's, 
same time disabling tracking etc.
This is my regular way of creating links forever. I also do split them in 
categories, that surfer is able to distinguwish in his first view.
It is a local net that this exams should get previewed and answered right 
away, in these terminals no one will have 'privileges' to install anything 
that isn't there yet, and skiping all other ditails I strongly believe that 
this particular content in this particular environment it practicaly posible 
to protect from being distributed to other students before their group take 
exams.

salute!
