Valid yes, but accessible?
I click on a link. I look at the page. I try to click on the back
button. What? Why doesn't this work? Oh. Because it's opened in a new
window. Close window. Return to the site (and page) I want to be on.
This whole malarkey
I'm using that one too.
But I had another script that needed to be run when the page loaded,
and then the scripts collided, so to speak.
So I had to call the functions from body
onload=externalLinks();anotherScript(); instead, which works fine.

I agree. My intention for opening links in new windows was for a very few
links. Only the feature website of the month as a sample to vistors. Oh,
and I will be giving the viewer the option to open the link in a new
window or in the current window, so no suprises there.
Thanks for all the help!

Dreamweaver' common set of JS for rollover images are using 'onmouseover' i
e. MM_swapImage JS.
I wanted to make it more accessible by using 'onfocus=' but I do not know
how to work around it so that the JS will work.
Does anyone know where I could get some resources on this?

Hi Kristof I tried doing that in the html but the JS fails to work. I think I need to change the JS itself but I do not know how to. These are the common image JS DW which I have in my JS file.

Hi Benjamin
What is ecma?
Can what you proposed be used for multi-rollovers?
I could use Meyer's

Hi Michael
Navigating anywhere in Microsoft's site is a nightmare. You go down a maze
of links until its almost impossible to work your way back where you came
from.
Is this an argument against the usefulness of the back button (or the
navigation metaphor entirely)? If Microsoft chose to
