Hey, i have a question, and it would be really uselful if anyone could answer it for me. I'm not sure if this is possible, but can you see whats on a link without clicking on it, and like going to it? its like when you are playing a game of chance, and you have to pick a card or something, and the card is a link to another page that says something like "you've won 500 points!" or a bad card that says "sorry, you lose! come back tommorow for another try :-(" those games really annoy me, and thats basically the reason why i am asking someone to help. i know this is kinda cheating, but oh well.... thats not really the point. anywayz, i don't mean like seeing exactly whats on a page, but i mean like the words on it. i know there is a option in "view" called "sourse" which i what i mean. in the "sourse" option, if you look hard enough you can see the script that is on the page. i know of another way to see what the link leads to, by doing "save as" but when i go to the link it just says that i have been directed to the site from a wrong place... so can anyone tell me a way to see whats on a link witout actaully cliking on it and losing everything?( or just the first part of it anyway) thanks for reading.. if you did get this far i know wrote a lot.

Why don't you play the game on two different browsers (like play it on netscape and Internet Exporer.) Then if you lose on one browser, then you can win on the other one, at least that's what I would do.

Do you just want to see the URL?
Put your mouse over it and look near the bottom left of the IE browser (For IE, obviously), or right click it and hit properties.

that's the only to know it, but...

agian there are sites that doesn'T able you to right-click, thanks to javascript for that, almost all web site use it now ! also the link appearing into the status bar, well thanks to javascript again, this can be hidden from you !

so, let's get on with what we have next...
well... without any of the right-click functions and without the status bar at the bottom of the browser, nop there isn't much you can do, except perhaps opening the web site source code, but i suggest you be familiar with HTML before you do !

way to do it...
well... VIEW / SOURCE
this works reguardless of the javascript or any other codes, except if its in a frame, god thanks not many users use this now a day !

other then that, no... there is no way !
but again, one might wonder why you would like to cheat on a certain web site game ?

i think the best thing to hide sources is to use "frames" on websites

well, i could use two different browsers, but then my score would still be saved, whether i win or lose.( i have to pay a certain amount of pointd to play, because if i win the whole thing, i could get 2,000,000 points, which is a lot in this game) anyway, you can use right-click, and the url isn't hidden from you.. i am just so annoyed from the game that i want to win already.....
