Is there a way to use css to make a hyperlink? Example:

<style>
.foo {
  onclick:url(http://google.com);}
</style>

<div class="foo">
Test!
</div>

My problem is that I'm unable edit/use html, but I do have complete access to the css for a certain web form. I want to have a hyperlink in the form, but since I can't edit the html, I need an alternative...

you can't do it through css, you can do it with JavaScript. – Matt Busche Mar 04 '15 at 19:17

That's what I figured... What about another solution to the problem? How to create a hyperlink on a form for which I can't access the html at all? – Steve Mar 04 '15 at 19:20

Maybe if you don't have access to the HTML, you shouldn't create links? – MattDiamant Mar 04 '15 at 19:25
@MattDiamant great idea! That's a perfect solution. How did you get so smart? – Steve Mar 04 '15 at 20:35
If it was a solution, I would have put it as an answer. I'm just commenting on your problem. – MattDiamant Mar 04 '15 at 20:40
