Perhaps the thing to do (for unauthenticated logins only) is recode all <a href=>...</a> as <span class="..." href=..>...</span> and then have a small bit of javascript that converts them all to <a> upon a single button click. Then put a button at the top of the page that says "Activate Hyperlinks". That button might also set a cookie that automatically enables hyperlinks on subsequent pages. > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > -- D.
