Incorrect, Thomas, in the example maybe, but the JS answer is more than that. Try: <a href = "..." target = "_top" onclick = "if (prompt('OK?')) window.open(this.href ,'_top',''); return false;" >Go to the top!</a> this will gracefully, but without the prompting question, default to the action if JS is absent. -- Evertjan.

You must check the return value of that method before determining whether to return false (which cancels the default action). I don't see what the prompt is for either. Is what OK?

The code in datecalc.js nowhere uses "new" : it takes no advantage of the JavaScript Date Object, and could have been converted from some simpler language. The name "julianDate" is semantically incorrect; you should use "ordinalDate". Don't copy IBM. function isValid(yyyy, mm, dd) can more briefly be done with a Date Object, as often discussed here in the past. function absoluteDate(yyyy, mm, dd) can more briefly be done with a Date Object, using new Date(Date.UTC(yyyy, mm, dd)) . function gregorianDate(absDate) can more briefly be done with a Date Object, using UTC. <https://files.nyu.edu/emf202/public/js/datecalc.js> may be damaged ; the last visible character in it is apparently '{' The newsgroup FAQ used to have something helpful about general date/time coding in JavaScript. I suggest that you change your signature. It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ.
