Dreanweaver Navigation Problem

Hi everyone,

In the behaviors, when I set an image to open a larger version in a new
browser window (the image in in another .html page).....the on "onClick"
option (or any others for that matter, because I tried them all) doesn't turn
the cursor into a hand when I view the page in a browser, any
browser..........! why is that and how can I make it turn into a hand, all it
does now it just shows the regular mouse arrow, so Unless I specify that there
is a link there (in writing) people would not know.

Thanks,
Alex

why is that

It's because you are applying the behavior directly to an image tag, and not
to an anchor that surrounds the image, which is really the proper way to do
it.

1. Select the image.
2. Apply your behavior.
3. With the Behaviors pane still open, click on the 'onclick' that you see
under the Event header and select "<A>onClick" from the list. This will
automatically wrap your image in an anchor tag.

Be aware that, while this will work to produce your pointer onmouseover,
it's an incomplete procedure. To complete things you will have to either
manually edit the code, or get an extension called "Smart Link" from David
Powers -

The final result will be code that looks like this -

<a href="something.html" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('...');return false"><img
src="..."... />
