Clicking on Rollover, Ad Banner Rotator
I just started fiddling around with a couple of similar tools in BV, the rollover and ad banner rotator, and noticed a "quirk" in each of them:
1) When I create a rollover and then preview the page, the image changes as it should when I mouse over it. But if I haven't specified a destination URL in the rollover properties dialog, clicking the (2nd) image puts me on a web page showing a bunch of images I've used in creating various BV pages. The web page has this URL:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Jim/Local%20Settings/Temp/preview
What is this page? I'm not planning to publish any page with a rollover that has no destination URL, but if I did by accident, I wouldn't want the visitor to see this random collection of images--it would make no sense to them.
2) When I use the ad banner rotator, it also works fine in preview. The rotating images seem to be clickable--that is, when I mouse over them, my cursor changes to a "pointer hand"--but nothing happens when I click them.
In a way this makes sense, as the rotator properties dialog box doesn't allow me to type in a destination URL--so then why do those images appear to be clickable? Come to think of it: If it's an "ad banner rotator," shouldn't the user be able to click the rotating ad(s) and get to a landing page of my choice? Thank you.
