It could set the value of an input-item and submit that form to the
server.

Roy,


Assumed the anchor tag does not contain any nested HTML tags/ elements.

Don't you know the color you gave the anchor tag through CSS style tag,
attribute or stylesheet.?
To change the color after a link is clicked or when the mouse hovers over
the link you can specify the colors through the pseudo classes A: VISITED,
A: ACTIVE or A: HOVER in a CSS style tag, attribute or stylesheet. And the
browser will do the rest.

Of course you can do this in a javascript function:

<script type="text/javascript">

function determine_color(obj_link){


if (obj_link.currentStyle.color=='#ff0000'){
alert('You already clicked me\nmy color = ' +
obj_link.currentStyle.color);
} else {
alert('my color = ' + obj_link.currentStyle.color);
}
obj_link.style.color='#ff0000';
obj_link.style.backgroundColor='#00ffff';
}


</script>

where the link should be something like:

<a href="#stay_put" onclick="determine_color(this);">Link 1</a>



But having this said I failed to see what the PHP related problem is (hence
the name of this news group) ;-)

still HTH,
