The worst thing on the web...

... is, IMHO, images that are handled through some javascript stuff. You can't click on several of them to open in new tabs. :-P

And no, I'm not talking about pr0n... http://homepage.mac.com/wwv/PhotoAlbum12.html does that.


solution...?

I agree, that's pretty annoying. One of the problems is that they use javascript: in the href attribute. From what I know, this isn't very accessible. Instead, they should do something like this:

<a href="big.html" onclick="window.open('big.html', 'wopen'); return false;"><img src="thumb.jpg" border="0" /></a>

The key is the return false; in the onclick section. This tells the browser not to follow the link specified in the href attribute. However, you can still right-click on the link and open it in a new window/tab.

I knew there was a solution.

Now, how do we educate FrontPage users? :-)

OK... OK... I know the world isn't perfect. I guess I'll have to live with that.
