this should work: <a href="javascript:void openWidgetWindow()">

I'm trying to implement the following basic situation....user clicks on a link, a child window pops up w/ a listing of widgets, user clicks on a widget, and a value is passed back to the parent page. I've been able to get everything working (popup window, widget listing, return value, etc) w/ an anchor tag like this... <a onclick="openWidgetWindow()">Click here to see a listing of Widgets</a> However, one thing w/ this is that the mouse cursor doesn't change to a pointing finger when it goes over the link because I don't have the href attribute set. I can manipulate the stylesheet settings so that it "looks" like a regular link (underline, same color as all links), but the cursor never changes to a pointing finger to indicate to the user that it's just a plain old link to click on. When I try putting in the href attribute, the page tries to reload (don't want that happening). I've tried a variety of dummy values for the href (pound sign '#', blank, etc), but every value I've tried seems to make the page reload. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
