who knows why this works:

 cls
 link #q,"aaa",[test]
 html "<script type=""text/javascript""> 
 var a = null;
 var timer;
 var as = document.getElementsByTagName('A');
 for (var i = 0; i < as.length; i++)
 {
 if (as.firstChild.data == 'aaa')
 {
 a = as;
 break;
 }
 }
 if (a) timer = setTimeout('location = a.href',500);
 </script>"
 wait
[test]
 cls
 print "Worked"


and this does not work?

 cls
 link #q,"aaa",[test]
 html "<script type=""text/javascript""> function inform() { 
 var a = null;
 var timer;
 var as = document.getElementsByTagName('A');
 for (var i = 0; i < as.length; i++)
 {
 if (as.firstChild.data == 'aaa')
 {
 a = as;
 break;
 }
 }
 if (a) timer = setTimeout('location = a.href',500);} </script>"
 
 html "<form> <input type='button' name='testx' value='Click me' onclick='inform()'> </form>"
 wait
[test]
 cls
 print "Worked"

Thanks in advance.

I just defined var a in the body of the java script and it worked.

 cls
 link #q,"aaa",[test]
 html "<script type=""text/javascript""> 
 var a=null;
 function inform() { 
 var timer;
 var as = document.getElementsByTagName('A');
 for (var i = 0; i < as.length; i++) {
 if (as.firstChild.data == 'aaa')
 {
 a = as;
 break;
 }
 } 
 if (a) timer = setTimeout('location = a.href',500); }
 </script> "
 html "<form> <input type='button' name='testx' value='Click me' onclick='inform()'> </form>"
 wait
[test]
 cls
 print "Worked"
