    Hello,

    I am trying to have multiple images with external links. But when I add multiple links I can't click on them anymore. I have a description text that goes above the images. When I remove this, all the links work. When I add it in I can't click on links anymore. Can you guys please help me figure this out. Code is below. I really appreciate your time.

    you aren't closing out the links.

    <a href="http://www.test.com/" target="_blank"><img hspace="8" vspace="8" align="left" width="119" height="29" alt="" src="images/buttons/parts.png" > </a>

    Hey,

    Thanks for the reply. I added the close </a> and the links still don't work. My issue is this line of code.

    When I remove that line for some reason, all the links work. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I really need that description text as well.

    well the first problem with that line is that you didn't close the </p>. so you have 2 paragraphs and they never end.

    well you need to start filling in the details about what you are doing. what type of page /output is this supposed to be? what is parsing the XML to get it to that state?
    as you're posting in the XML/RSS sub forum, I really haven't a clue what you are using.

    well since its flash that's reading this in, looks like the problem is isn't accepting it. can test that by using just a straight text link, just an image .

    If I take this line out
    It will work fine. I can have both in and it does show both except the link does not work. If I take out the description line out the image link works just fine. I think I might just make the description an image and go from there because everything I have tried does not work.
