Greetings,
Building on Harry's excellent suggestion of link attributes yesterday I
have created a test page on that topic (attached). Be forewarned that
its operation may depend upon the default browser behavior of ignoring
things it does not understand (not entirely comfortable on building on
default behaviors but I think Harry has hit upon a very good thing for
us to extend, even if it is just on simple links at the moment).
Note that when I added the other attributes, you no longer get the back
button (at least in Netscape).
BTW, Good NEWS! I spoke with Todd yesterday and he and the family are
fine! I tried to call the new number he had sent out and got a "not in
service" message. With all the fires and stuff I was worried about him.
The wife and youngest two children had enough sense to go see relatives,
Todd and the older two are riding it out like one of those "do you have
a little captain in you" commercials with a bon fire that can be seen
from outer space. ;-) Todd was going to work on getting his computers
setup so if you are going to post something he will disagree with, do
it now and beat the rush. ;-)
Seriously, glad to hear Todd and family are OK and hope to see Todd back
in the harness sooner rather than later.
Patrick

<h2 align="center">Test of attributes on links</h2>
<p>It has been proposed that we put additional attributes on <a> elements to allow classification of links. Not sure if this is permitted or if it will even work. This is a test page for that purpose.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.emory.edu">Regular link to Emory University</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.emory.edu" target="University Site">Link to Emory but includes attribute target="University Site"</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.emory.edu" target="University Site" role="Educational Link">Same but includes role="Educational Link"</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If all three links work, assume that we can add attributes to our <a> elements.</p>
