Link Validation with message below and new link!

hello javascripters....
i have some questions for u as i have not found anywhere else help:
i have a link like this: Click here to validate your name And when someone clicks on it i want to open another webpage in a new window. After the user makes a click on that link i want to apear Below that link a message like this:
Thank u! and below this message another link:
Click here to view your profile!

In short words.. after the user clicks on the url"Click here to validate your name" just below, the new link and the message shoul appear. (only after the user has pressed that link). How can i do that? using a javascript function that change a variable from true to false or how?
Please help me with this...!!

You could have the message already in place but hidden using css.

When the link is clicked, use JavaScript to change the display attribute of the message from hidden to visible.

the problem is that i want to open a website when the user clicks on that link... in a new window.. and in the parent window i need the THANK U message to appear the link! Any ideas? thats more then css...

The same JavaScript function that changes the style of the message from hidden to visible could then launch the new window.

However, I urge you to consider whether this new window approach is absolutely necessary as it is frowned upon these days by both experienced web site designers and end users.

It can also cause considerable confusion for people accessing your site using assistive technology of have other disability considerations.
