Server folder location being added in front of external links in page!

dude_56013 · 10-03-2010, 11:59 PM

I'm stumped, guys.

This is the first website that I've done where I've tried to actually separate each page into its own folder, so there was a learning curve as to how to link everything together. Well, I've got it all worked out internally, but now when I try to link to an external link, it's adding the server folder location in front of itHere's an example of the page I'm talking about.So, I want to link to LINK but instead it's auto-adding crap in front of it so that when you click it's trying to go to LINK which is obviously not what I want it to do! Argh. If you need me to upload the code, let me know, but I'm assuming you can just go and view the source.

Also, yes, I know the CSS for the links looks stupid..I haven't changed it yet. Trying to get it WORKING before I get to the looks. FML. This is what happens when you haven't coded a site for a while.

Take the Quotation marks out of the external links (E.g Photobucket) and that should fix it. In other words;

PHP Code:

Have I told you I love you Neo?

I've been meaning to....

FML. I should have just come here right away. I learned to put quotes around EVERYTHING in high school programming (this was very basic and many many years ago). Bad habits stick. Thanks dude. I appreciate it!
