Making a link clickable only once

G

Guest

Is there a way in FrontPage to make a hyperlink on a site clickable only
once? I am in the process of creating a site and a link that will be used
accesses another application that sometimes loads slowly. I am trying to
devise a way to ensure that the link can only be clicked one time (so as not
to make the loading even slower). Is this possible, and if so, how?

My thoughts are:

Change
<a href = "newpage.html">New Page</a>
to
<a href = "#" onclick=callpage('newpage.html')">New Page</a>
And write a script for callpage()
e.g.
var pageflag= false
function callpage(url){
if (!pageflag) location.href=url
pageflag = true
}

This is some code I tried. It calls the second page, but I can't try calling it again as it loads immediately.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageflag= false
function callpage(url){
if (!pageflag)
{ location.href=url
alert(url + ' called. Please wait.' )
pageflag = true
}
else alert(url + ' has already been called. Please keep waiting.' )
}
</script>
<head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="callpage('newpage.html')">New Page</a>
</body>
</html>
