Q670 How can I tell which link within the links object array was clicked on?

The links object array is very limited. All you can do is loop around the array comparing the href property of the link clicked:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function checkWhichOne(url) {
    for (var i=0; i < document.links.length; i++)
        if (('http://somewhere.com/' + url) == document.links[i].href)
            alert('Link number ' + i + ' was clicked.');
//--></SCRIPT>

<A HREF="somepage.htm" onClick="checkWhichOne(this.href)">....</A>
