pointed finger when you mouse over

I have set up a open new browser window behavior which works fine, but what
I would like is to have the link that opens the new browser window appear
like the standard pointed finger when you mouse over it, now it just an
arrow so it is hard to tell it is a link. How do I do this?

Hi

Use:

javascript:;

As the link, in other words put javascript:; as the link in the properties
panel.

No. As the link (href), put in the actual URL of the page you are opening
with the javascript function put in the onClick attribute.

That way your page will still be accessible to anyone not using javascript
or anyone that prefers to manage their own browser windows.

This usually means that you have not applied the link properly - can you
show me the code?

None of those are links, as they should be. Right now, this only works IF a
person has javascript.

The best fix for this is to take this:

<img onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../images/dinettepics/dinette1large.jpg',
'dinette1',
'location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=ye s,resizable=yes,width=400,
height=350')">

and change it to this:

<a href="../images/dinettepics/dinette1large.jpg"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../images/dinettepics/dinette1large.jpg',
'dinette1',
'location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=ye s,resizable=yes,width=400,
height=350')">
<img>
</a>

That's the right way to do it.

Not exactly. :-) That will result in the image being opened in both the
original window AND the popup window. Try it this way:


<a href="../images/dinettepics/dinette1large.jpg" target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../images/dinettepics/dinette1large.jpg',
'dinette1',
'location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=ye s,resizable=yes,width=400,
height=350');return false">
<img>
</a>

Aw crap. Good catch...you need the 'return false' in there as you have
shown.

I suppose you could put the target="_blank" in there too, but again, I
prefer to let the end-user decide that action.

Since, if the user has JS enabled, you've already taken that choice
away, I assumed you'd want to keep it away. ;-)

Actually, no, with the RETURN FALSE, I can now choose to drag the link to a
new window, or open in a new tab without the pop-up launching.
