Q: href links in slideshow not working

hi,

I have created a non-flash slideshow with WOW Slider which I find to be a very good program and is jquery based.

the actual slideshow runs fine on iPad, my PC - and Android devices,

but:

the six slides have links embedded to other websites, that I have set up to run in a new window, and work fine on PC & Andoid

but on the iPad the outbound links do not work - yet an href link will work on the iPad if called from a static image.

I'm at my wits end with this, and any help would be really appreciated.

thanks,

Kevin UK

nb: the problem page is:  http://www.kevbro.co.uk/slides.htm

the wow slider code is:
