How To Perform Two Functions With A Link

[murmy]

I wanted to find out how to perform two functions with a basic html link. So for example, you click the link and it brings up the download dialogue for a program (so the user can download the program) whilst simultaneously moving the index page to a download page.

This method is employed on a lot of poker & gaming sites.

I have tried googling this but to no avail... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not look and see, find the link in question on one of these sites within the page source. One of the links is probably the href=, while the other a windows.open in the onclick handler, but could be some other trick, iframe.src ? or ajax ?

function foo(){ alert('foo'); bar(); }
function bar(){ alert('bar'); }

<a href="Javascript:foo();">Click here</a>

This is one way you could achieve it.

Or simply <a href="Javascript:foo();bar();">Click here</a>
