Change to

<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[function image(url){
         window.open(url);
}
]]>
</script>

Not sure what this is doing.

><xsl:template match="IMAGE">
><a>
>         <xsl:attribute name="href">
>                 <xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
>         </xsl:attribute>
><button
>    name="image"
>    STYLE="BACKGROUND-COLOR:
>#CECEA5;cursor:hand;width:50;height:25;text-align:absmiddle;"
>    onClick="image()"><img src="../../../a_icones/oeil2.jpg" width="50"
>height="25"/>
></button>
><xsl:apply-templates/>
></a>
></xsl:template>
>

 Change it to

<xsl:template match="IMAGE">
	<img src="../../../a_icones/oeil2.jpg" width="50" height="25">
	<xsl:attribute name="href">
      	<xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
	</xsl:attribute>
	</img>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Put a style="cursor:hand" on the img tag if you like.

Hope this helps

Ciao Chris
