How do I intercept link clicks in document? It must be cross-platform.
I am looking for something like this:
// content is a div with innerHTML
var content = document.getElementById("ControlPanelContent");
content.addEventListener("click", ContentClick, false);
function ContentClick(event) {
if(event.href == "http://oldurl")
{
event.href = "http://newurl";
}
}
for (var ls = document.links, numLinks = ls.length, i=0; i<numLinks; i++){
ls[i].href= "...torture puppies here...";
}
alternatively if you just want to intercept, not change, add an onclick handler. This will get called before navigating to the url:
var handler = function(){
...torment kittens here...
}
for (var ls = document.links, numLinks = ls.length, i=0; i<numLinks; i++){
ls[i].onclick= handler;
}
Note that document.links
also contains AREA
elements with a href
attribute - not just A
elements.
