code not working properly

chriscolden

hi. i have some code to write the links onto the page from a text file.

the text file links.lst contains text in this format.

http://www.visualbasicforum.com
main
VB Forum
http://www.lyricfind.com/
blank
Lyric Find

the problem is that the target bit doesn't work. but everything else is fine.

the code i currently have is as follows

<?PHP

$filename = "links.lst";
$a = file($filename);

Print "<table width=100% height=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 onMouseover=\"borderize_on(event)\" onMouseout=\"borderize_off(event)\">";

for ($i=0; $i<count($a); $i+=3) {
Print "<tr><td class=\"menulines\"><a target=\"".$a[$i+1]."\" href=\"".$a[$i]."\">&nbsp&nbsp".$a[$i+2]."</a></td></tr>";
}

Print "</table>";

if anyone could help me with this i would really apreasiate it

thanks

It seems to be ok (though I did take your code and cleaned it up a bit, according to my tastes).

A possible problem might be that you arent using target="_blank", and so when you use target="blank", it doesnt open in a new window on subsequent tries.

sorry. i forgot to say. main is an iframe. and all the links seam to just open a new window.

also the code is printed like this

<a target="main
" href="http://www.visualbasicforum.com
">&nbsp&nbspVB Forum
</a></td></tr><tr><td class="menulines"><a target="_blank
" href="http://www.lyricfind.com/
">&nbsp&nbspLyric Find
</a></td></tr><tr><td class="menulines"><a target="main
" href="http://www.totalgsm.net/switchlang.php?newlang=en
">&nbsp&nbspTotal GSM

any ideas?

could have have a look at the cleaned up code as well please?

thanks

Uh... 12 minutes is hardly enough time to wait for people to respond. Remember, this is a message board, not a chat room. Give it some time -- come back after Easter and I'm sure you'll have your answer.
