You have picked something that is not easy to do. You will have to write some sort of HTML parser class that will look through all of the HTML for the <a> tags and grab the href attribute as well as the id attribute. Then you can add an eventListener for them.
One hurdle (amongst many) is going to be with links that perform javascript functions. You will have to figure a way to grab these and perform the javascript. You should probably dig into the XML classes. Of course, a lot of HTML pages are not valid XML. Sorry I don't have any magic powder to help you. I really believe it is going to take a LOT longer than 5 days for this to be implemented. --- In [email protected], "shiv_indian" <shiv_ind...@...> wrote: > > Hi Valdhor, > > Thanks for showing interest to respond my queries.
