Re: Validation after HREF link clicked

Kent,

If you take a broader view of defining what users are authorized to and what 
your web application will expose to one user vs. another, I think you'll 
conclude that it would be better handled on the server rather than trying to do 
that via JavaScript.  And the solution you come up with could probably be used 
across many applications.

Subject: [WEB400] Validation after HREF link clicked

Is there a way to do some validation after the user clicks a link but before
the browser opens the link?

What I want to do is show a list of "items".  Each "item" has a link to a
detail view about that "item".  While the list is being built, I will flag
each "item" if the user is authorized to view the detail for each "item".
When the user clicks the detail link, I want to check the flag to see if
they are authorized.  If they are, show the detail, if not, show a message
box.

Is there a way a way for JavaScript or something else to be executed when
the link is clicked?

TIA.
