Re: Validation after HREF link clicked

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can display the items without the link instead of adding the flag.
Remember to check again in your CGI program, because the flag can be 
edited by the user.
The forbiden items can have an: onclick="javascript:alert('Bad boy')"
