Sidebar Banner External Link to banner

[milind]

Hello all,

I have created one theme for cPanel and uploaded on the server which include a banner (with hyperlink to website) above notice menubox but the problem is when I click on the image it open URL "http://xxxxxxxx.com:2082/cpsess8349859924/frontend/x3/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/cpanelbanner.html%22 instead of opening http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/cpanelbanner.html

Following is the code in index.html

<div id="notices">
	<h3><cpanel langprint="Special Offers"></h3>
	<div id="noticeboard">
	    <a href=”http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/cpanelbanner.html" target=”_blank”><img src=http://www.xxxxxxx.com/images/cpanelbanner.gif /></a>
	</div>

Is this literally what you have?

<a href=”http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/cpanelbanner.html" target=”_blank”><img src=http://www.xxxxxxx.com/images/cpanelbanner.gif /></a>

The reason that I ask is that I did not notice it myself until I tried your code on a test server, but you have a different double-quote character after your href= tag than at the end of the link. Look very carefully:

<a href=”
html"

The two characters are not the same. It needs to be the " (shift + apostrophe-key on a US keyboard).

If I surround the link with " characters, not the ” you have at the beginning, the link works as intended.

Thanks for the tip Jared. It really worked.
