How do I ... opening in new browser

A quick DW4 question, please! I've designed a site using DW4
(www.netcomuk.co.uk/~pcave/oriental/home.htm) and I've run into a minor and
annoying. The small weather check icon on ...page2.htm is set to open in a
new window (using DW's Behaviors window) but I'd like the cursor to show the
'link finger' that I see on other links.

I'd also like to see the same on the page
www.netcomuk.co.uk/~pcave/oriental/treks_short.htm for a straight text link
rather than an image link.

Huge thanks - this is terribly frustrating.

wrap the image in <a> tags, and then attach the onclick event to the <a>
rather than the <img> - this will give you the hand cursor. better yet:

<a href="file.htm" onclick="window.open('file.htm');return false;"
target="_blank">

this will allow people with javascrip turned off or unavailable to still
access the content, while the average user will get the popup as you desire.

Many thanks for the reply. Now comes the embarrassment... I'm a real html
novice, so I've always used DW4's WYSIWYG interface. I've posted the
relevant code from the page (or at least I think I have!). Would some kind
soul sigh gently at the ignorance of youth and tell me to what I should
change it?

Thanks so much.

even better, duplicate the "onclick" event with an "onpress" event, so that
you can open the link either with a mouse click or with the keyboard

So many thanks, Josh. You've just demonstrated very eloquently why I need
to get a book on html.
