Understandably, it doesn't work I guess because <a> doesn't function like button on a form. So, how one fire from <a> or basically perform what has been described above?

But this cannot be like alert box because it may mess up navigation.
Can you elaborate?
How will the message be dismissed - must the user click a button or does it just show for a period and then navigate to url.

I have 4 hyperlinks in index.html and 4 descriptions + vidoes on videos.html.
Problem: When user clicks on a hyperlink on index.html, it navigates to vidoes.html but it is not clear to the user which of the videos s/he must concentrate.
Desired solution: The caption of the target video could change color to red, or blink several times.
But because there is no session variables etc, a messaging like toast is also acceptable in the following manner:
1. User clicks on the hyperlink ("Search video").
2. A mesage appears on the upper right corner of the screen telling user "please see item 3. Search video" for example. This message ideally better to appear on vidoes.html and close after a second or two. But, it will be okay just to show this message on index.html just before navigating to vidoes.html. But this simple request may have its own complication causing delay in navigation.
Any other solution helping the user what video to watch is also acceptable.
