[WEB4LIB] Tracking Clicks locally

[Luis Domingues]

If the links you wish to track are on your website, any webserver logfile
analyser, like webtrends should do it. You just have to ask the sysadmin to
give you the server logs. The webtrends software will be installed on the
workstation.
If these are outer links you need to use a redirector page, which logs the
link and then redirects the use (like most banner adds do).

OK --
This is either so simple I am just overlooking it --
or so totally impossible that I should know better than to ask -

We use Netscape as our front end.
On our page is a menu of I'net-based resources --
I would like to be able to track AT LEAST the number of times that each of
these links was clicked.

Other items of info such as amount of time spent at that site would be
nice -- but I realize that is really getting out into the smoke --

Any ideas?
Is there any kind of syntax or scripting that would identify each time a
specific link was clicked and store that in a file somewhere.

NOTE -
We do NOT have ready access to our web server in terms of installing any
applications on it -- so any solution would almost HAVE to be strictly
within the local workstation.

Any suggestions welcome -
