Question

I’m having a hard time getting this to work in IE. All the other browsers are working perfectly! Can’t use a transparent gif because this link is being used inside a cycling background image. If I place a gif, it does not cycle anymore… Anyone suggestions?

<div onclick="window.open('mylink.html','new_window');" style="display:block; float:right; height:40px; width:100px; cursor:pointer;">

Answer 1

I believe IE still only fires onClick events from elements that are normally clickable.

Do this:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('mylink.html','new_window'); return false" style="display:block; float:right; height:40px; width:100px; cursor:pointer; text-decoration:none">

(of course use the corresponding </a> instead of </div> at the end)

Not sure what a transparent gif has to do with it.
