double click for a href

[samart mateo]

helo, from what i know, a href is activated with one mouse click only. Is there any way that the a href is only activated with double click? I'm trying to prevent having to use the javascript as the link is quite complicated to explain here.

please help me. Thank you very very much

no there is no way to make it a double click with just html.

You could use the onClick event to store the time the link was clicked and increase a "click counter" up to 2.
Comparing the link was clicked the first time, with the time the link was clicked a second time. Wouldn't that be possible ?
Not sure... And if you had to do this for all links, that sounds like a pain.

Sorry, I have not enough knowledge in Javascript to post some script.

The main idea is :
1. Declare an onClick event on your link
2. Use a variable for the click counter and set it to 0
3. Use a variable for the first click time
4. In the onClick event, increment the counter.
If it equals 1, get the current time and it
If it equals 2, get the current time and compare it with the previous click time.

Good luck

w3.org states support of ondblclick with HTML 4.0
You can check this link for list of attributes
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/index/attributes.html

What can be suggested is,
in href and onclick attributes for anchor tag, point to some dummy function and then ondbclick you set document.location.href to your URL.

But do test cross browser compatibility
