'm that does not work. I think I have to look at an other point. Maybe in the Style sheet. Thanks anyway.

What happens when you click the link? For example, nothing, get a blank page, never stops loading, etc.

Since the answer may depend on how the link is coded, can you provide a link to the page that has the problem and indicate which link it is? (Assuming it is open to the public and family friendly.)

Thanks for your reply.

'm when you watch this site. You can see what I mean: http://www.zwager.net/service.html

Do you mean the "buttons" that have underlined links on them? Yes, those do not work for me, either. I think Firefox ignores the link since buttons are not supposed to have interactive content inside them. And since there is no form in the page to submit, the button just does nothing.

I think in order to keep the button appearance and the link function, the tags need to be turned inside out like this:

<a href="wiewij.html" target="_blank"><button><h4>Wie zijn wij? </h4></button></a>

Thanks. Yes that is what I mean. I am going to try that.

Greetings, Jose
