link problems

i have made a links page on my forum using the html page module

i put links in for my affiliates

example

if i put in <a href="www.whateva.com"><img src=" their banner pic">

it goes in ok and shows but wen i click it it goes to

myboardname.aforumfree.com/whateva.com

how do i stop it doin this and openin in a new window

Try adding http:// in front of the url. That is my first thought as to what is causing the problem.

yh dun tht and it does send u to the site i want it 2 go so cheers but how do i have them open in a new window

just add target="_blank" to your link tag as an attribute. So it looks like this:

Code:

<a href="http://url.com" target="_blank">Text to display</a>

cheers

and to open in a new window?

First add http:// before thier link

Then add: target="_blank" at the end

Example a link to my site with a image:

Code:



<a href="http://geekedondungeonsanddragons.com"target="_blank"><image src="http://i19.servimg.com/u/f19/11/08/00/26/forum_11.gif">
