Programming Dummy Needs Help

[mlalex]

Quite new to this area of online marketing. I am developing a site. Pls help me on the following:

Say I have 4 hyperlinks with names
1. New York
2. London
3. Paris
4. Moscow

When the user clicks on New york in the hyperlink URL (given below) DYNAMIC KW should be replaced with "New York". Sameway when London is clicked DYNAMIC KW should be replaced with "London"....and so on

Hyperlink Url:
[xyz.com...] KW&mode=abc

Where can I find a code or script readily available to do this?

This could be silly to experienced people. Sorry PLs help. Thankyou.

Why don't you put it yourself?

<a href="external-search?search-type=ss&tag=affid&keyword=New%20York&mode=abc">New York</a>
<a href="external-search?search-type=ss&tag=affid&keyword=London&mode=abc">London</a>
<a href="external-search?search-type=ss&tag=affid&keyword=Paris&mode=abc">Paris</a>
<a href="external-search?search-type=ss&tag=affid&keyword=Moscow&mode=abc">Moscow</a>

I think it's the easiest way.

PS. If that's not what you want, eg you need it put dynamically write with what language, eg PHP.

mcibor,

Actually the is very long and a search is done for that particular keyword on a merchant's site.

You can write the list in any language automatically. eg in PHP:

<?PHP
$list = "New York; London; Paris; Moscow";
$list_array = explode("; ", $list);
$length = count($list_array);
?>

then in html print:

<?PHP
for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
print("<a href=\"bla.bla.com/external-search?search-type=ss&tag=affid&keyword=".$list_array[$i]." &mode=abc\">".$list_array[$i]."</a><br>");

}
?>

Seems to be working for me.
To add new elements just put them in a variable $list, separated by "; " (don't forget about space).

To do it in javascript you can ask the same question on javascript forum, because I'm not so very good at it. (I don't know how to easily make an array)

Hope it clears things a little. If not, don't hesitate to write, just specify what do you want.

Michal,

The code works perfectly and I wanted exactly this kind of a thing.

But there is one small problems. The link

[xyz.com...] KW&mode=abc

turns to

[mysite.com...] KW&mode=abc

and shows a page not displayed error. Thank you.
