I may not be following you, but let me try.

You are on a page.

You see a link on a page.

You put your mouse on that link.

You want to understand how somebody made that link using javascript.

If that is your question,

1) If you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, go to the View menu and click on Source.

2)Then
the file of the page you were looking at will be on your screen. It is the code to make the page.

3)The javascript should be at the top of the page inside the <head> </head> tags. You can find what url for the link you were pointing your mouse to.

Sometimes, people put javascript into a separate file that is not in the file that is downloaded to your computer when you "View Source". You might see something like this:

<head>
<script SRC="File_name_here.js"></script>
</head>

That is code to put javascript into a file outside of the current web page. It is called an "external file".

To see the external file, you need to go to your address window at the top of your browser and insert the file name after the domain name of the page you were first looking at.

I will use an example to explain.

The first page I am on is [bla.com....]

I put my mouse on a javascript link.

I want to understand how that link was made.

I go to the top of my browser in the "View" menu and click "Source"

The code of [bla.com...] is downloaded to my computer.

I look inside the <head></head> tags of that downloaded file and see this:

<head>
<script SRC="menu.js"></script>
</head>

In order for me to see the javascript file called "menu.js", I need to type this into my url window:

[bla.com...]

That will display the javascript code of the page. Then you can learn how to make the javascript link work.

In that page, you will also see the url to see where the javascript link goes.

=========

Does that answer your question?

If that doesn't answer your question, can you please post the URL of the page you are having trouble with?

I think we may need to have this information to help you.
