help with forbes.com
so, I read http://www.forbes.com

if you look at their main page, the moment you hover over the main item today (blackstone: more splish than splash) it opens a onmouseover javascript which I would like to eliminate and just give me the link in the onmouseover and take me there

the source code shows onclick= javascript : oneclickreg('show',this, then comes the link which works fine when manually pasted to the main page url, ie. http://www.forbes.com/home/markets...... etc..

Hi susa,

I'm not seeing that.
If I put the mouse on "blackstone: more splish than splash",
the status bar shows
http://www.forbes.com/home/markets/2007/...ets08.html
Right-click and copy link url gets the same.
Code looks like
Code:
<tr valign="top">
<td width="150">
<a href="/home/markets/2007/06/22/blackstone-ipo-update-markets-equity-cx_jl_0622markets08.html" >
<img src="http://images.forbes.com/media/bti/2007/05/0521bti_sschwarzman.jpg" width="150" height="90" border="0">
</a>
</td>
<td width="5"></td>
<td width="248">
<a href="/home/markets/2007/06/22/blackstone-ipo-update-markets-equity-cx_jl_0622markets08.html" class="topfeature">Blackstone:
More Splish Than Splash</a>
<br>
<span class="byline">Evelyn M. Rusli and Josh Lipton</span>
<br>Steve Schwarzman's private equity IPO sees a modest rise. Is it a sign of a market
top?<br>
</td>
</tr>
I do see where the function oneclickreg is created but it isn't used much...
Do you sign in at Forbes?
Maybe I don't understand?

RE: help with forbes.com
well, ok, the way this worked for me was that a tiny popup happened if I clicked on the news item (not there at this moment) where forbes wants to get people to signup, so, no, I did not sign in or register

if I closed the popup, it would just popup back if I wanted to read the newsitem

perhaps they will have another one during the week as during the weekend this is not there, ie. I can click on any of the links and read them without any popups

Ah...
So I didn't fully understand and
it probably wasn't there when I looked.

I'll try to remember to look again. Smile!
