[PHP] Can you fake a onClick?

[Douglas Harter]

I have checked the archives and not really found an answer, so here goes.

My form contains a function called CountIt which increments a counter file on the 
site. I mainly use it to count the hits on the page. I also have multiple a links to 
 .zip  .txt files which can be accessed or downloaded.  Is it possible somehow to 
fake an onclick event so that when the user clicks on the link I can use the CountIt 
function to increment a counter for that link?

Maybe I should have mentioned that CountIt is a php function. Does that make
a difference? It is declared at function CountIt($filename) where $filename
is the file containing the count.

 Yes: a href=javascript:CountIt('actual link here')Text/a

 And in ClickIt you'll have to append
 if (goto) {
   window.location=goto;
 }

 Obviously, you'll have to redefine ClickIt() to ClickIt(goto)

 I don't know if all the code is 100% accurate, but that's definitely the
direction to go. You may have to change the JavaScript code to
parent.window.location=goto if you use frames.
