is my syntax correct?

function test(x)
{ x++;
return x;
}

<a href="pagename.jsp" onClick="x=return test(1);">testing</a>

<a href="pagename.jsp" onClick="x=test(1);">testing</a>

but where will you need x?

and after the link is clicked, it will go to pagename.jsp

can you explain what it is you actually want to accomplish?

oh...never mind the href...x is suppose to count the number of times you clicked the link....pretend its a checkbox and not a link

as ive told you, you'd do it like this:

<a href="pagename.jsp" onClick="x=test(1);">testing</a>

of course, you have to declare x as a global variable.

or simply, you can do:

<head>
<script>
var x=0;
</script>
</head>

<a href="pagename.jsp" onClick="x++">testing</a>

and get rid of the function test().
i supposed you're using the value of x somewhere in your code.

aha, you're going to used it in your new post http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=8184

you should have posted that from the very beginning instead of this one.

i think he wants this

function hi(x) {
++x;
alert(x);
}

<a href="pagename.jsp" onClick="test(1);">testing</a>
