making <div> a hyperlink

[Dave]

I've been given a flash banner and told to make it a hyperlink.

I tried this: <script type="text/javascript">
Document.getElementById("flashcontent").onclick = function(){
window.location='http://www.website.com'; }
</script>

but received an error stating that "Document" was undefined.

I also tried this:


<div class="linkdiv"
onclick="javascript:location='http://www.website.com'"
id="flashcontent"> which makes the white space in the <div> a hyperlink
that works but not the flash banner.

Thanks, Ed. I changed 'D' to 'd' in document but the result is the
same. White space is hyperlinked. Flash banner is not. Added 'window'
before 'document' without any effect.

I can be wrong (I'd like to be) but you may have to return the job back
- unless you can edit the Flash itself.

Flash movie is an event consumer by its own. It means that as soon as
mouse goes over it, it "disappears" for the document - all events are
trapped by Flash. So you can twist around to catch say mouseover, but
no way to know onclick.

AFAIK

I was afraid that might be the case. I told them to send me a .gif but
was also wondering if I can put a clear button over it (something else
I don't know how to do)?
