Identifying Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks with text and pictures as context

<a href="data2html.asp?name1=Elvis&name2= Créspo">Elvis<imgsrc= "box5.gif">Créspo </a>
<a href="data2html.asp> Elvis<img src="box6.gif">Presly </a>

No 'alt' attribute defined within the 'img' tags.

ElvisPresly

Result should look like: Take the text as identification, ignore the picture

Hyperlinks with text and pictures that define an 'alt' attribute

<a href="data2html.asp?name1=Elvis&name2=Crucho">Elvis<img src="box4.gif" alt= "Pintae">Crucho </a>
<a href="data2html.asp"> Elvis <img src="box6.gif alt= "The King" > Presly </a>

 

ElvisPintaeCrucho

Elvis The King Presly

Results should look like:

More than one picture as content

<a href="data2html.asp?name1=Ocho&name2=Car"><img src="box6.gif" alt="box6"><img src="box5.gif" alt= "box5"></a>

 

 

box6box5

Results:

No identifying attributes

<a href="data2html.asp?some=how"><img src="box5.gif"></a>

Results:

The identifier 'box5' still exists in the script and so the ordinal number is added to the function.

WebPageLink("box5", "PageTimer13", 2); // link: 6

Recorder problems

<a href="data2html.asp">Mont Blanc</a>
<a href="data2html.asp">Highest Mountain</a>

Mont Blanc

Highest Mountain

Recorder problem:

  1. We cannot yet record which hyperlink was clicked when they've got the same 'href' attribute. Therefore when we click eg. Mont Blanc we will get a result like WebPageLink("ElvisPresly","") because this is the first link 'href' attribute 'data2html.asp' in this document.

As there already exists exactly the same links in the document the older ones will be taken for the replay. The label of the link is in this case irrelevant.
