How to remove/disable slideshow hyperlinks

[HSRyan]

Script Title: Blending Image Slide Show Script

Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/image4.htm

Problem:

Hello, the 'corresponding hyperlinks' feature is certainly valuable in most cases - but not in others - so I'm hoping there's a way to completely disable it.

I did search the forum (and the web) but have come up empty. I'm not very literate in code so much of the script is quite cryptic to me!

Note: I don't have any 'corresponding links' in the script but the image/slideshow is still a hotspot, and if you click it, it naturally generates a script error.

The code is below - and here's the live page: http://ryancreative.com/cupe4000/

Hopefully that makes sense and there's a simple solution, otherwise I'll be forced to link it to "something"... which I prefer not to do.

Thanks in advance!

Steve

It's not actually doing anything at the moment when you click, so you could use this for your img tag instead of what you have now.

<img src="homepage425x240a.jpg" alt="CUPE 4000" name="slide" border=0 style="filter:blendTrans(duration=1)" width=425 height=240 style="cursor: default;">

The red is all you need to add.

Then they won't see the hand. Is that what you're looking for?

Thanks, but that didn't seem to change anything:

I apologize, try adding it to <a> element as such.

<a href="javascript:gotoshow()" style="cursor: default;">

That should work.

To avoid a javascript error, you should also change this:

function gotoshow(){
if (newwindow)
window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])
else
window.location=slidelinks[whichlink]
}

to:

function gotoshow(){

}

Thanks guys!

Doing both things solved the problem.

You just made my day!
