hey guys, ive had a quick search but unfortunatley i cant seem to find anything regarding my query. what iamafter, is an onmouseover effect that basically adds "[" and "] " at each end of the link. i can do things like change colour/bold etc, but so far unable to find anything to do this

basically..

"link".... and "[link]" when the mouse is over it. any ideas ? thanks :)O

there isn't going to be an effective way of doing this with links. It can be done with divs to the point of making "link" go to "[link]", but it won't actually be a link. onClick events could be used to create the link illusion, but then again, you're getting into some tricky water with syntax and formalities.
