You can have it open in a new window just by adding target="_blank" to the link like so:

<a href="chatroom.asp" target="_blank">chatroom</a>


Though make sure you add double quotes like the other variables in the link tag (eg target=""_blank"")

As for the images, no you do not need to add ".gif" or ".png" to the end of the file name in that line, but you need to have an image for both extention for it to show.


Okay I have it working now because I didn't realise that it should ALL be in one line! They say you learn something new EVERY day Embarrassed
I have just one more question, even though I have tried finding the answer myself. When peeps click on the link I want it to open a new window. You mention the javascript and I've searched but not being sure, I wonder if you could just help me. I'll keep checking this afternoon because I'd like to suss it myself, but I'm not too proud to ask either

Thanks Scotty Thumbs%20Up

strStatusBarTools = strStatusBarTools &
"&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src=""" & strImagePath &
"chatroom." & strForumImageType & """ alt=""Chat Room"" title=""Chat Room"" style=""vertical-align: text-bottom"" /> <a
href=""chatroom.asp"">Chat Room</a> "

So I copied the above and using Araneae Text Editor I pasted it just below the line you mentioned. The green chatroom I assume refers to the image, which in my case I named chat, and I just changed that to chat.

I assume you don't need .gif or .png behind the full stop as it will select the image file?
The href in my case chatroom.asp is in a separate folder outside the forum folder, so that was
/ChatRoom/chatroom.asp in my case

I uploaded two image files and default.asp (ammended of course) and then I got a VB error, unexpected end of statement! No link, no forum page or anything. I had backed up the default.asp file so uploading the backup wasn't an issue, but I think I did do it all the right way

How did it not work, could you explain a bit more how it went wrong?

Did the link not display at all?
Did you get any errors? if so could you paste them here?]]> Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:35:04 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-a-navigation-button_topic25470_post132336.html#132336 <![CDATA[Adding a navigation button? : Hi ScottyDone exactly as you say...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-a-navigation-button_topic25470_post132333.html#132333 Author: 123Simples

Hi Scotty
Done exactly as you say above and it did not work Unhappy
I made sure images were in forum_images
I copied and amended the asp bit

No luck
But chat room is working, but I just can't add the link the way this other person wanted

You will need to make sure that your chatroom icon is a .png and .gif]]> Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:05:06 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-a-navigation-button_topic25470_post132120.html#132120 <![CDATA[Adding a navigation button? : It would not work at first, but...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-a-navigation-button_topic25470_post132117.html#132117 Author: mattysdad

It would not work at first, but when I added an image for it in to the forum images folder it worked brilliantly!

 

My thanks again!
