Add URL to button

Dreamweaver 8



Friday 04th May



Hi Folks



I want to add a URL link to a button. Quite easy to do I can
add it to the

link in the properties BUT I want it to open in a new browser
OR I can

create a behaviour which does what I want except:-

When you hover your mouse over a button which is going to
take you somewhere

the little handle normally appears indicating that is what is
going to

happen however this does not happen when I do it this way.



Does anyone know how to achieve opening another site in a new
window and

still have the little hand appear ?



Regards

Cliff

Add URL to button
Show us the code you are using when the little handle (what
are you

describing here?) doesn't appear, please.

Add URL to button
Not sure I understand. You want to have a BUTTON that, when
clicked,

goes to another page/site. But - when users point to the
button, their

cursor does not turn into a hand (it remains an arrow) and
you want it

to be a hand? Is that correct?

And I assume the button is not a button, but actually an
image of a button?
I'd assume it IS a non-image button. If it's an image, adding
a

hyperlink would produce the hand icon on rollover. A regular
input

field/form button would not.

Not if the event handler is in the %26lt;img%26gt; tag as often
happens with

inexperienced DW users -
