Simple Syntax Question

[peterinwa]

I simply want an image href which takes you to a new url if you click on it, but also calls a function onMouseOver. I'm struggling with the use of " and ' and ; and so on. Something like this:

<a href="javascript:location='newURL.html'" onMouseOver="callFunction()">
<img src="images/button_07.jpg" width=125 height=45></a>

I get an error message pointing to the first character "h" in href no matter what I try.

Thanks.

try
<a href="javascript:location=newURL.html" onMouseOver="callFunction()">
<img src="images/button_07.jpg" width=125 height=45></a>

Why not just use the normal href?

<a href="newURL.htm" onmouseover="callFunction()">
<img src="images/button_07.jpg" width="125" height="45" /></a>

Short of seeing the function you are calling not much else could be wrong

Seeing your replies made me see the syntax error was elsewhere. Thanks, it works now.

About using javascript:location... yes, it certainly wasn't necessary.
