onclick on the about us link should link to another page, it works in IE but not in firefox. I can't get it to do anything.

I'm so sick of this cross-browser crap!

I have heard some claims that it is better to use
self.location.replace(url)
instead of
self.location.href = url

It might be worth a try.

I think the more standard way to do this is to replace:

<img src="Aboutus.gif" onclick="self.location.href = 'index2.html'" alt="About Us" />

With:

<a href="index2.html"><img src="Aboutus.gif" border="0"/></a>

Does that help?

Well it will be calling a javascript function, i only changed it to self.location.href so see if something as simple as that would work.

OnClick doesn't seem to be firing at all. Works in IE/Opera/Safari. Maybe I should report it...

It's something to do with the last entry in your css file.

Couldn't agree more. Why do people go out of there way to make things difficult? If you really, really have to have an onclick event (and btw if you do use an onclick instead of an <a> tag then the page will not work at all if the user has scripting disabled) then the correct code is:

window.location = url;

The "nice" way of doing that is:

<a href="#" onclick="function_i_want_to_call(optional_parameters)><img border="0" src="path_to_image.gif"></a>

(The href="#" thing is there just for neatness)

Hope this helps,

Stick the image in a div and use the onclick with the div...

nuada

the div after the menu div on the page is resting on top of the menu div and so the click events are going to that div instead. add z-index:-1 to it's style to send it to the back

<div style="z-index:-1; position: relative; top: 50%; margin-top: -200px; padding-left: 166px; margin-left: 10%;">
  <div id="photograph">
