How to make a normal URL work inside Featured Content Glider?
1) Script Title: Featured Content Glider
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tentglider.htm
3) Describe problem: How to insert a normal URL into the script so that when the reader clicks on one of the items, browser follows that URL normally (as opposed to displaying current/previous/next item in glider.)

Code:
<div class="glidecontent">
<img src="http://i15.tinypic.com/72vilba.jpg" style="float: right; padding: 5px"/>
Ontario is a province located in the central part of Canada, the largest by population and second largest, after Quebec in total area. Toronto, the capital of Ontario, is the centre of Canada's financial services and banking industry. <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>

No, I mean to include an URL inside the selector - the area where you can choose previous/current/next item in the glider. I'm looking at a theme where the creator has modified this glider code so that there is a selector area and a featured post area. The selector area contains the headlines of all five featured posts, while the featured posts rotates between the five. When you click on one of the items in the selector area, the corresponding post (excerpt+thumbnail) appears in the featured post area.
Our readers have asked: is it possible to click on the selector area and go directly to the full post? To do that we would have to have a URL in the selector area. I've tried, but it made some strange changes. So I was wondering, has anybody else done this, and is there a recommended way to do it?
