html/javascript problem

Hey all, didn't know where to post this so posting it here.

Currently have a temp website up for my 10-piece band.

http://www.sweetmusicband.co.uk/

bit of a problem, the three images don't actually open the links when clicked - they'll open if i open in a new tab, but on a click they'll do nothing. Anyone know why? The link above is just loading www.arekkz.com/burgon/ via godaddy so not a clue why they wouldn't work.

Has anyone got like, 500kb of webspace I can upload to to see if it will work there? Or an idea as to why it wouldn't work.

Completely baffled here.

You added the links twice to the buttons. one of them has a target="_blank" you should add a target="_top" to the other one since you're using frames.

Oh my days was that really it? I added target="_top" to the links and now they work fine.

You won't believe the aggro that was causing me, I had work colleagues hating on my javascript and everything telling me it needed rebuilding. I mean i'm shit at web design (hence why this is made in photoshop and ported to Dreamweaver) but didn't think it'd be that simple!

Thanks a bunch.
