Your English is just fine. What's wrong is that you didn't tell the URL of
your page.

The normal answer is: Stop wanting that.

Stop using JavaScript at least until you understand it.

If you told the URL, we could see how you create the problem, and then some
solutions could be suggested. The odds are, however, that you should simply
remove all that fancy JavaScript stuff. This would also make you concentrate
on the real thing, namely selecting link texts so that they are
self-explanatory or at least understandable when read in the context of
normal content on the page,

URLs would help _so_ much.
