BarelyBlogging

I provide some free open source software, and to help defray the costs of this website, I usually beg for PayPal donations.

Here’s a JavaScript function I use, attached to the download link, to annoy people into sending me a donation:

function begForMoney()
{
  if (!arguments.callee.stopBegging) {
    arguments.callee.stopBegging = true;
    alert("Please donate!");
  }
}

Here’s how to attach it to a link. You can attach it to multiple links on the page, and it only triggers an alert the first time it is clicked.

<a href="" onclick="begForMoney()">Download</a>
