so my situation is as folows:

I am loading text from external text files.  
in the text, there are some javascript tags that open other target HTML pages in a pop-up.  
I did include the javascript \<SCRIPT\> tag in the index.html.

it works fine in PCs but in a Macintosh the mouse doenst become “link-enabled” on mouseover and if clicked the whole page becames a “button”.

weird…

my text file contains I am using contains(4example):
