capturing and changing the link

[browser newbie]

Hello

How can I capture the link a user clicks on ? After capturing will I
be able to form the HTTP request so that I can change the server its
going to?

For example...if the URI in the page says www.link1.com/data1, should
the user click on it, I would like this to be send to
server1.link1.com to get the url /data1

Is this possible? If so how

TIA

I do not understand, can't you write dierctly the good code in your links ?

Is this possible? If so how

<a href="http://www.server_one.com/folder/datas.htm"
onclick="var strg1 = 'server_one.com';
var strg2 = 'server_two.org';
this.href = this.href.replace(strg1,strg2);
alert(this.href);
">link</a>

Because the user would not dream to click the link, knowing the real URL.

<a href="http://www.server_one.com/folder/datas.htm"
onclick="var strg1 = 'server_one.com';
var strg2 = 'server_two.org';

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/"
......
var strg1 = 'cnn.com';
var strg2 = 'moc.etiSonroPreh'.split('').reverse().join('');

Yes, this is possible as described in a couple of ways in this thread,
but it *is* a bad idea.

It is a *very* *bad* idea.

*) If the user does not have Javascript enabled,

.... or supported ...

they will not go where you want them to go.

*) If this is used to "trick" someone to follow a link they do would not
normally follow, you risk offended and making your visitors mad. If
you did this to me, I would not return to your page.

ACK to those to, but ...

*) It can break search engines.

.... please elaborate on this.
