Making image clickable without anchor tag

Question

I have been trying to make a image in tag clickable without surrounding it with anchor tag.

Purpose is that I have used cfyon script from yahoo to make a scrolling marquee of images. The marquee is fine but the requirement includes making each picture of the marquee clickable. Onclick, a javascript function will be called. These images are fed to the script using the following code.

  <script type="text/javascript">
    Cufon.now();
    var marqueecontent = '<img src="marequee/DSC_11801.jpg" width="281" height="250" alt="Monique Relander"  class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"/><img src="marequee/DSC_10541.jpg" width="274" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/leather-chairs1.jpg" width="221" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/tassel-lamp.jpg" width="194" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/angellamp.jpg" width="162" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/daybed.jpg" width="384" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/birdcage.jpg" width="208" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/oakchair.jpg" width="161" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" /><img src="marequee/candelabras.jpg" width="188" height="250" alt="Monique Relander" />';
  </script>

Surrounding individual tags with is not working.

Answer 1

Say you have an image like so

<img id="example" src="blah.jpg" />

You can make this clickable by styling it with css:

#example
  {
    cursor:pointer;
  }

and then using javascript + jquery library

$("#example").click(function() {
  window.location.href = 'http://www.google.co.uk'
});

EDIT: I put together a jsfiddle to show this in action : http://jsfiddle.net/sn6um/1/show/
