webslingers Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I am adding links using the mod to add boxes in the colums. I can get the link to work but I would like it to open up in a new window. This is the code I have now, how can I put in the _blank attribute into it?? Thanks! '<a href=" http://www.dacemfg.com">'.Dace. '</a><br>' ); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webslingers Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 I thought I saw something about this but cannot find it now. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 '<a href=" http://www.dacemfg.com">'.Dace. '</a><br>' ); Have you tried '<a href=" http://www.dacemfg.com" target="_blank">'.Dace. '</a><br>' ); You also have a space after the href=" which shouldn't be there..

webslingers Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 Thank you, that worked perfectly. :D :D :D One more thing. How can I make the text of the link say, Dace.Mfg? I want the . in there. But it reads it as part of the code. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Try typing in . instead of the . Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webslingers Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 That didn't allow me to put the . in the name. :?: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Like this... Dace.Mfg It should show as Dace.Mfg Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webslingers Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 That's exactly how I had it. The problem is it seems to leave something open in the code. I am using dreamweaver and it color codes everything. When I add that little piece of code, the rest of it turns orange... when before it was black. http://www.frankwatsonsworld.com/ss1.jpg That is the screen shot of what I'm talking about.

webslingers Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 my site is down at the moment. can i email it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Sure. [email protected] Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Try it without the space after WebSlingers. and Dace.Mfg. So it would look like this.. <a href="http://www.dace.com" target="_blank">'.Dace.Mfg.'</a> I don't use Dreamweaver, but I'm guessing that a mistake turns the line a different colour until the code is fixed? Sorry I can't help you more with this, I'm just learning the code myself :cry: Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I just noticed, in the screen shot you sent me, you have Dace#46;Mfg instead of Dace.Mfg You left out the & Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I didn't think it would work like that. I was just going by the initial bit of code posted.. I guess if it works, go with it :shock: Quote ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webslingers Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Thanks for the help. It works now. I did have the & in the screenshot, but that didn't work. I used Burts code and that worked fine. Thanks to both of you for your help. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webslingers Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 I do have another rookie question. And again I did search a bit for it, but found nothing. Using the same code as above, how would I make a new line, for a new link. I know there is something I am missing. $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => '<a href="http://www.dacemfg.com" target="_blank">Dace Mfg</a><br>'); To put another link under the current one, I have to take off the ; and put that at the end of the string, but what do I put at the end of the first link line?

jordan Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 i made my own custom box with three links, two of my own and then one to the contact form that is usually in the info box. this is the code i used $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SUPPORT_HOME, '', 'NONSSL') .'">Support Center</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SUPPORT_TRACK, '', 'NONSSL') .'">Help Desk</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>' ); so, i think the answer you are looking for is put a space period space ( . ) inbetween each new link and end it all with the ); so your code would look like $info_box_contents = array(); ? $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?'text'? => '<a href="http://www.dacemfg.com" target="_blank">Dace Mfg</a><br>' . '<a href="http://www.dacemfg.com" target="_blank">Link 2</a><br>'); I hope this helps. Every one has been helping me lately so i want to finally help some one else!

webslingers Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Thank you very much. It was the "space dot space" thing that I didn't know about. That fixed it all. If I can get help on my other questions like I did with this one, I will be in top shape... :D Thanks again very much! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
