This problem has bugged me, and evidently others, since the launch of iWeb. No solution is totally satisfactory. So I'm adding mine to the mix. I add the following snipped to the page, adjust the size in the code to match the image thumbnail size and then lay it on top of the thumbnail in question. The part of the code in red shows where to list the target page and its measurements. I came up with this code while messing around with someone else's posted button that accomplishes the same thing very distractingly. I do find that a shadow around the thumbnail helps hide any effect from the slight border.

Not a great solution, but one that I am using in a site I am setting up.

<script type="text/javascript"> function open_win() { window.open("http://web.me.com/craigart/James_Craig_Photography/EI_Three_Moai.html","_blank","toolbar=yes, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=400, height=400") } </script>
<input type="image" value=" " width=144, height=108, onclick="open_win()">



Above is the script that gets pasted in:

Insert Snippet
Click on and insert Script
Replace items in red with page address and thumbnail size matching measurementss
Adding a shadow to the image helps the appearance - this way the link is the same size as the image
Select both to move them together

The second set of measurements above is the size of the page itself coming in.
