Using images as links in IE

I have a JavaScript image rotator in my site, where each slide contains an image and text - both are links.
In IE only the text links and not the image, in FF both link

check out: www.nevey.org - that is where my original rotator is.
Now I’m changing it a bit and would like to get rid of the text and just have an image that links - and this doesn’ work - i tried a javascript: onclick(window.open()) and that did not work either.
www.nevey.org/index-1.php - the second slide on the image rotator is the one im playing with

Thanks in advance for the help

Javascript jobs like this have pretty much passed into the domain of jQuery at this point, because it’s so well built to manage them. In fact, for image rotators, the Cycle (or Cycle Lite) plugins seem to emerging as the standard because of their ease and excellent design.
