Re: Validation after HREF link clicked

You can display the items without the link instead of adding the flag.

The forbiden items can have an: onclick="javascript:alert('Bad boy')"

Subject: [WEB400] Validation after HREF link clicked

Is there a way to do some validation after the user clicks a link but
before
the browser opens the link?

What I want to do is show a list of "items".  Each "item" has a link to
a
detail view about that "item".  While the list is being built, I will
flag
each "item" if the user is authorized to view the detail for each
"item".
When the user clicks the detail link, I want to check the flag to see if
they are authorized.  If they are, show the detail, if not, show a
message
box.

Is there a way a way for JavaScript or something else to be executed
when
the link is clicked?

TIA.
