constrain number of clicks

[mduran]

Hi,

I am building a page for listening tests. I would like to give the test subjects the possibility to listen to every wav file a limited number of times (say 3). Then I would like to hide the link to the wav file.

How can I do this ?

Much appreciated.

When they listen to the file it has already downloaded to the users computer so most browsers will be able to click forward or whatever to get back to it. I suggest you use flash to create this.

Yeah I know. What I want is to hide the link to the wav after x number of times, which will make their life a bit more difficult if they want to listen again.

Howabout something like this

<script>
var clicks1 = 0;
var clicks2 = 0;
var clicks3 = 0;

function countClicks(number) {
//Open link to Wav sound using window.open here
// if number = 1 then open link 1 etc.

eval("clicks" + number + " = clicks" + number + " + 1;");
if (eval("clicks" + number + ";") > 2 )
{
eval("link"+ number + ".style.display = 'none';");
}
}

</script>

<a id=link1 href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="countClicks(1);">Link 1</a>
<br>
<a id=link2 href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="countClicks(2);">Link 2</a>
<br>
<a id=link3 href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="countClicks(3);">Link 3</a>
