HTML Link question in php code

[piecz]

Thanks to the help of many on the board I am getting very close to my solution but have another question niggling me.

The following code builds a link list but the html fails to recognize the target and defaults to _blank.

for ($i=0;$i<=$nelements;$i++) {
$index_output .= "<a href=\"pages/$file_list[$i].html/\" target=\"_top\">".$file_list[$i]."<br>";

}

I have tried many combinations including setting the target to a variable to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tony

Would this work better:

for ($i = 0; $i <= $nelements; $i++) { 
	$index_output .= '<a href="pages/' . $file_list[$i] . '.html/" target="_top">' . $file_list[$i] . '</a><br>';
}

since target="_top" is valid so it could be a problem with not closing the anchor tag.

Nope same problem. It is a strange one. I continue to bang away...........

In a complete "I have to take a break from this moment" I found it to be programmer stupidity as I was gasp uploading a previous version via ftp.

So sorry for the idiocy.

Thanks again,

Tony
