I don't understand what you mean. The links work fine. I don't understand what theory states that your image should display "the behavior" on mouseover, whatever you mean by that. Perhaps you could be more specific as to what you're expecting.

well in theory if you hover the mouse anywhere over the jpg image shouldnt the cursor change? To show that its an hyperlink? It only seems to want to do that if you move the mouse to the very right of it

I haven't researched your specific issue, but it isn't necessary to use images as buttons or hyperlinks, unless you want buttons like you see on daniweb, with an image background.

Using CSS, you can style regular hyperlinks to look and function as buttons.

The cursor changes for me. I get a hand. Crap like this is what you get when you try to make a web site without knowing HTML and CSS.

Don't know about you mate, but doesn't seem to me to be helpful at all.

I've come here via a 'bad post' report, and am no coder by any twisted stretch of the imagination, but I'm all too aware that there are applications both software and web based which enable people to create websites without ever needing to learn a single part of coding. A simple google search tells me that Dreamweaver is one such application.

I'd expect that when an inexperienced person asks a technical question they should be met with politeness and assistance if such is a possibility.

I was not being impolite; that statement is simply true and observant of the fact that you'll get different results in different browsers if you don't have a general idea about HTML and CSS.

And you're right, it does not help the other poster solve his immediate problem. So what? How much help do you expect now that the URL's deleted?

I moderate this forum; I deleted the URL. It's daniweb policy, for good reasons. I sent a private message to the original poster, explaining how to post HTML and CSS code within a message. You'll also note how I provided an alternative to using images, which is to apply CSS to standard hyperlinks.

Telling someone that their efforts are "crap" and that they don't know HTML and CSS isn't really in the spirit of things. However, I'm willing to grant you the benefit of a doubt and suppose that was just poor wording and not a personal attack. So, we'll all watch this thread and see if he comes back with more questions, and do our best to assist. Agreed?

Any chance that this is simply a browser issue, by the way?

A move to Mozilla as a preferred browser a while back 'broke' my work console log in, to the extent that for a while I had to 'click' alongside the buttons rather than on them. My worksite was coded for Internet Explorer and other browsers were not coping with it very well at all.

Ah, "crap" was referring to the weird behaviors that generally happen when you trust a wysiwyg editor's code to work on multiple browsers, not anybody's particular code.

You could replace it with "problems" and it would mean the same thing.
