My client wants image maps with javascript that opens a new window with a QT movie.

Netscape7 and iExp on the mac work fine but Nets4/Mac works intemittently. Netscape anything on the PC won't work, iExp on the PC works but the cursor won't change.

Anyone know how to make this work?

use the href="??" will also give you the link cursor,
unless it has to be a certain sized window (660x520) just use the href, not the onclick, popup killers wont allow it to work, nor will javascript turned off and use the target= to open in new window (or use both)

If I'm reading this right, Busy is saying use href or both href and onClick, as it will help you -- he's totally right.

You can adapt the script from zerocattle.com/examples/popUp.html easily and it will allow people to get at the content no matter what they have enabled.

Without using the href, the links won't work properly in Netscape 4.x, period. It requires something in the href. If you remove the href, it won't work at all, if you use href="#" or something it may work intermittantly, but it's not as good a solution as using both the href and the onClick.

it might not b of much help but, when i make an image map, i usually, chop up the image and use tables to arrange them :S i odn't particularly like useing the imagemapping code in html but that's only me :S

If you have chopped up the image then you don't need to use an image map just assign the links to the images
