I'd still use the simpler approach of not making the image a link at all, unless the image itself is an accessibility enhancement, so that e.g. people with reading comprehension problems would really like to use the image as a standalone navigation tool. There's then the problem that nothing indicates the image as a link-like thing, even when the cursor is moved over it. Maybe it would help to add a title="..." attribute and/or add window.status='...' code into the onclick="..." event handler, or even use the usual JavaScript techniques for swapping the image on mouseover. -- Jukka Korpela TIEKE Tietoyhteiskunnan kehittämiskeskus ry Finnish Information Society Development Centre Salomonkatu 17 A, 10th floor, FIN - 00100 HELSINKI, FINLAND Phone: +358 9 4763 0397 Fax: +358 9 4763 0399 http://www.tieke.fi jukka.korpela@tieke.fi
