See-How its done

IMPORTANT:  BEFORE TRYING THIS TAKE NOTE OF YOUR DEFAULT OR CURRENT SETTING (IE  TOOLS>> INTERNET OPTIONS and HOME PAGE ADDRESS)

This will only work for IE 5 (or higher) as it uses internal events in the Browser.  First the cursor is set to a default hand and the text underlined, then the clever bit is activated by the "onclick" event   which sets the home page to the address located within the second set of bracket.   Thanks to Microsoft, a  confirmation box appears which requests a response ( yes/no) to complete the operation.

Resetting back to previous by TOOLS>> Internet Options and change the Home Page Adress on the General tab back to its previous setting

Any event can be used as an activater, but remember what reaction a user may take if irritated.

Well that's the theory - try clicking on the example below and See-How it works.
