Is there a way to create a link on a page that is secret? I do not want any indication that the cursor is over a link (color change, etc) including the location display in the lower left of the screen. This would be used by me to get to a page that I don't want the normal user to access. I am not worried about someone looking at the page source. I just want to click on a secret word or symbol and go to another page.

Why not just bookmark the page, and not have an outside link to it?

Yes, just fiddle with the css for the particular link, so it has no text decoration or colour change on hover, active, or anything else. As long as you understand this is not a "security" measure, it may be a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do. Remember the link will still be totally obvious to spambots, Lynx users, and so on. |

Anyone who use their keyboard for navigation.

If you tab through the links, the secret link won't be hidden.

Easy enough to add a link that is hidden but as mentioned above, it won’t remain hidden for long!
