I am a complete novice, I've spend most of today trying to research and learn Javascript.

I would like my page to keep a count of how many times the links have been opened (this is happening)

I would like a new pop up window to occur when the count gets to a specif value (this isnt happening) OR maybe to have a new hyperlink to appear that the user can then click on?

Thanks in advance.

Browsers block popup windows unless they are directly triggered by someone clicking a link.

If the browser is going to allow it then the following should work:

<script type="text/javascript">
var clicks=0;
function linkClick(){
document.getElementById('clicked').value = ++clicks;
if (clicks>3) {
window.open('http://ie.yahoo.com','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no ,status=no');
}
}
</script>
