Hi:

    I'll be placing a 'hot link' on my developing page.

    But, I wish it to be a *button* (rather than an anchor <a   >) whereby I 
can capture the 'click', then do my 'click-counting' and other work, then 
send the hot-link on its way to fruition.

    I googled around and found that the following code that looks promising, 
but I couldn't get it to work.

    In IE8 nothing happened after the click. With Chrome and FF the screen 
cleared but went to sleep.

    Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong ?

    btw, I've now forgotten where I found this code :(

    Below is a stripped-down version of what I'm trying (& failing) to do.

Thank you.

-Mel Smith
