[Javascript] location redirect

[Roger Roelofs]

Uri,

I have done something similar to what I think you want.  Go to  
<http://www.mhvillage.com/Listing.php?key=35121> and click on the 'Map'  
button to see it in action.

The code is in the functions in  
<http://www.mhvillage.com/js/mobodomo.js>.  Reproduced below.  I stole  
the idea from an article, but I can't find the url for it at the  
moment.

---------  js   -------------
function tagExternalLinks() {
	var aTags = document.getElementsByTagName("A");
	for (var i=0; i < aTags.length; i++) {
		if ((typeof aTags[i].rel != "undefined") && (aTags[i].rel ==  
"external")) {
			aTags[i].onclick = doExternalClick;
		}
	}
}

function doExternalClick() {
	var Msg = "Following this link will take you away from mhvillage.com.   
\n";
	if ((this.title) && (this.tltle == "MapQuest Map")) {
		Msg += "The following map is compliments of MapQuest.  \n";
	}
	Msg += "To return to mhvillage.com, click the 'Back' button at the top  
of the window.  \n\n";
	Msg += "Click OK to leave mhvillage.com or Cancel to remain where you  
are.";
	return (confirm(Msg));
}
if( window.addEventListener ) {
	window.addEventListener("load", tagExternalLinks, false);
} else {
	if(window.attachEvent) {
		window.attachEvent("onload", tagExternalLinks);
	} else {
		window.onload = tagExternalLinks;
	}
}
