Just choose 'onClick' from the list

When you select an image the 'A onClick' appears in the list BUT does not if you just use text as a link. Both are the same and do the same job. What DW is really saying is - apply the link to the 'anchor' tag which surrounds the image. When no image is present it doesnt need to as the link will be attached to the selected element, which is the anchor tag.

Thanks for that, but when I go with onclick alone, replacing javascript:() for the original link still allows a new tab to open in addition to the nbw.

I assumed this was because <A> onclick was missing, as this is the only difference with the text link and the linked image process which works fine?

What does your link look like (similar to the below)?

and the <script> at the top of your page (similar to below)?

<!--

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}

//-->

</script>

I don't get any new browser tabs opening, just a pop up window.

Link:

<a href="vinvid.htm" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('vinvid.htm','vinvid','width=660,height=500' )">Vinny</a>

Script:

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}

</script>

This is what I get with a text link.

Your link should be as below: swap the first instance of vinvid.htm for Javascript();

<a href="Javascript:()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('vinvid.htm','vinvid','width=660,height=500' )">Vinny</a>

It does in step #10:

Go back to the Properties Panel (Fig. 4) and replace the first URL in the link field with javascript:() This makes the primary link into a null link so the page doesn't open twice.

Just so you'll know, there is no difference between the syntax versions posted here -

<a href="javascript:;"

vs

<a href="javascript:()"

I actually did that probably 6-7 times. I only got it to work by editing the url myself as advised. Spooky.

Thanks.
