Many sites use JavaScript to create links to other website pages. Here is some example
code with different link types that you may want to avoid:
<HTML>
<head>
<title>Link Examples ~ Things to stay away from</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function gotoLocationX(){
window.location.href='http://www.cnn.com';
}
function gotoLocationY(){
window.location.href='http://www.yahoo.com';
}
function gotoLocationZ(){
window.location.href='http://www.google.com';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Example 1:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:window.location.href=
'http://www.cnn.com'">News on CNN</a>
<br><br>
Example 2:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:gotoLocationY()">Yahoo Portal</a>
<br><br>
Example 3:
<form>
<input name="mybtn" value="Google Search Engine" type=button
onClick="window.location.href='http://www.google.com'">
</form>
<br><br>
</body>
</html>
When you open this code in your browser, you will see a screen similar to Figure 8-2.
This is not to say that you can never use dynamic links. You obviously can, but you
need to think about tweaking your code to help web spiders see what they need to see.
