Yet another javascript link question

[Westech]

I know that
document.write('<a hr' + 'ef="http://w' + 'ww.website.com">click here</a>');
will prevent PR from being passed to a link, but will PR be passed if it isn't broken up? Example:
document.write('<a href="www.website.com">click here</a>');

I'm looking at adding some functionality to my site that would let users post links without passing PR. The code would be much simpler if I could just surround the url with the javascript stuff rather than try to split it up.

Why don't you try linking like out.php?siteid=1 ?

It's much simpler and I can give you the code if you want.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I may hit you up for that code later for another project. In this case, I think it will be better to do it with the javascript trick since I want my users to be able to post links and heve them appear on my page in real time. I just need to know if search engines will recognize the link if I send it out with document.write without breaking it up.

Fair do's:)

Can't help you on your question, sorry.

Westech, it's not likely to be passed even if it's not broken up. The only reason to break it up is to be double sure. For instance, a search engine may read "<a href=" and think "ah, this must bust be a link". Where as if it's fragmented, it's less likely to match any pre-defined strings that would indicate a link.
