<span title=”http://www.vdgraaf.info” class=”fakelink”>”not a link but still looks like one”</span>

“not a link but still looks like one”

It uses two extra classes in your stylesheet

.fakelink
{
  color: #06c;
  text-decoration: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}
 
.fakelink-hover
{
  color: #147;
  text-decoration: underline;
  cursor: pointer;
}

And the following javascript:

window.onload = relNoFollow;
 
function relNoFollow(){
  var FakeLinks = document.getElementsByTagName(’span’);
  if( FakeLinks.length > 0 ){
    for( var i = 0; i < FakeLinks.length; i++ ){
      if( FakeLinks[i].title.indexOf( 'http://' ) != -1 ){
        FakeLinks[i].onmouseout = fakelinkMouseOut;
        FakeLinks[i].onmouseover = fakelinkMouseOver;
        FakeLinks[i].onclick = fakelinkClick;
      }
    }
  }
}
 
function fakelinkMouseOver(){
  this.className = 'fakelink-hover';
}
 
function fakelinkMouseOut(){
  this.className = 'fakelink';
}
 
function fakelinkClick(){
  var FakeLinkWindow = window.open( this.title, 'target', '' );
}

Thank you Robert for this code: http://dicabrio.com/javascript/nofollow-attribute.php

Do you have an idee on this matter?
