Well it depends on who is seeing it... the admin knowing who clicked the links or the user knowing what links they have clicked?

If it's the users, play with the css for the links... sorry if it is not javascript... i personally don't what exactly is going on...

Michael, thisis java code not javascript and this is the code for a "JForm" using javax.swing.

as ire;ivant as your answer is, if i wanted to control who clicked a mouse on a webpage, i would return the clientside address using ajax and write a wrapper for a:onclicked, which is a sub process of the a tag. -irrelivant tangent-

Normally you add a listener to the items you want to be able to receive notice of events like clicks.
