I have just started learning Javascript & I have come 2 a grinding halt with linking... below is the script I'm using on my website which, depending on the time of day, it shows a certain image. What I really want is also to link that certain image to another webpage....any help GREATLY appreciated

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = 'JavaScript'></SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>
<div id="Layer42" style="position:absolute; left:462px; top:257px; width:68px; height:62px; z-index:73">
<script language=JavaScript>
document.write('<img src="http://www.mixxfm.com.au/Mallee/images/' + xonair + '.gif">');
</script>

</div>
</body>
</html>

Add a function something like this

function openURL(url){
window.open(url,url,'');
}

now in all the document.write statements you can add an onclick event in the image tag something along these lines

document.write("<IMG SRC='images/tod_hot30.gif' onclick='openURL(\"http://www.w3c.org\")'>")

this you should implement for all of th eimages

Thanks Khalid Ali,

It didn't work for me...I have set it all up in a layer thru Dreamweaver & not in the head of the page (so the below is in a layer)
I have cut out all the other if-else parts & only left 1 elseif for you to see ....the page I want link to is bbrekky.html...could u please show me exactly how to do this, or if I need to redesign & maybe place all formulas in the head with the document.write only in the layer.

Your help is already greatly appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out....BTW Im from Vic Aust...u?

you got it (almost...:D )
just a tiny syntactical error

use this line

document.write("<IMG SRC='images/tod_tbm_spello.gif' onclick='openURL(\"http://www.mixxfm.com.au/Mallee/bbrekky.html\")'>")

Yeah I know..I forgot that name is pretty strict in which characters can be used,try the following

function openURL(url,name){
window.open(url,name,'')
}
document.write("<IMG SRC='images/tod_tbm_spello.gif' onclick='openURL(\"http://www.mixxfm.com.au/Mallee/bbrekky.html\",\"w1\")'>")

see the parameter w1 it should be appropriate for every link you want to opoen if its a unique name then all windows be unique else one window will open all the links in it

thanks Khalid Ali,

As we say here 'youre bloody marvellous'...thank u very much
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!

1 more thing...could u please show me how to choose the size of the window that will open after clicking the link... I only want it to be around half the size of a normal window...

Thanks again

Cheers Len

there are multiple approaches for that..
you cna hae a uniform size for all of your windows that will be done.

window.open(url,url,'width=400,height=400');
