Many thanks. I have done this and it now works.  I had put it there 
before I asked for help but left in the "onload" which I should have 
removed.

There can sometimes be 100 or rmore links in a page.  Except when they 
are standard URL's to images or pages on other servers, these are 
internal links within my Neural Database rather than standard URL's.  I 
use anchors with
href="#"
to persuade browsers to provide a point and click interface for data 
within my database which does not use URL's.  The links can be ordinary 
data or individual words within text.  If they are all displayed as 
underlined links, the page looks a mess, so I use
A:link
to display the links in a slightly brighter colour and
A:hover
to underline a link when a user does a mouse over.

Since the links are not underlined, I want to display a prompt to tell 
users to use the mouse.  I had a comment from one user who thought that 
there were no links on the page as nothing was underlined!  Dependent on 
his/her security, a user may be able to navigate a link, or update or 
delete or remove the record representing the link, or check the audit 
trail to see when it was added/updated, etc. and by whom.  
Alternatively, a user may be able to go down a level to find lower level 
data that is dependent on a relationship that he has already accessed.  
This might be a relationship with a relationship or independent data 
(such as a quantity or some text).  The multi-dimensional database 
allows for 1 billion**2 levels of hierarchy with the same fixed length 
28 byte keyfield for all records at all levels, but at any "lower" 
level, a user may still be able to navigate, change, etc..  There is no 
stored HTML as I generate HTML, javascript etc. as requests are made.

If I still haven't been able to make it clear, please ask me again.
