That's a creative use of hyperlinks, well done. Isn't this a duplicate though?

I can't answer that - I don't set the work lists for the developers

We came close to doing this exact thing a couple of years back - to the point where we actually designed the graphic that would pop up to show that you were leaving Scratch. I wish I could remember why it never went any further - maybe it was just a question of priorities. Probably it got pushed aside to get 2.0 out. Maybe its time has come at last?

Wasn't this the person who uploaded Gobo from behind?

oh yeah i guess it is

Remember, the forums are not a polling service, when giving your support, please give a new reason that's constructive, instead of that.

ok, maybe we could have a whitelist, but otherwise ABSOLUTE-SUPPORT == TRUE

I know the OP is most likely not active at all anymore, but why not just… put your explanation in the post itself rather than leading to a google search page?

it was a demonstration of how these type of links can be abused. I’d say its clever.

it's a direct demonstration of how it works, and it's honestly way easier to understand

it could be implemented simply like this:

linkOpened = function(url) {
  let shortenedUrl = url; if (url.length > 8) shortenedUrl = url.slice(0,5) + '...';
  if (confirm('Are you sure you want to go to ' + url + '?')) { window.location.href = url; }
}

but this still says “you're leaving scratch” if you're going to another scratch page linked from a forum post

my bad, i forgot

linkOpened = function(url) {
  if (new URL(url).hostname.endsWith('scratch.mit.edu')) {
    window.location.href = url;
  }else{
    let shortenedUrl = url; if (url.length > 8) shortenedUrl = url.slice(0,5) + '...';
    if (confirm('Are you sure you want to go to ' + url + '?')) { window.location.href = url; }
  }
}

edit: technically this never said “you're leaving scratch” tho

thats a good idea actually, this one time somebody told me to go onto a scratch project that they were advertising, it actually led to a chrome download that i would write if it was possible to say on scratch without getting muted (known as (removed by moderator - please don't name browser extensions))

What is the point of setting `shortenedUrl`

A little icon could be added after links that go outside of scratch, like the one wikipedia uses.
