Wasted almost 2 days on this , Auctiva Deletes ahref=

M mattbbMember
So I've spend the last day creating a awesome looking store banner for my eBay listings only to insert the template into Auctiva to be molested by Auctiva code Frown

I have spent the next day trying to get it to look semi decent however I am stuck. I've searched forums, the internet, google with no luck or even sign of anyone else having the problem.

I can past the template into auctiva and preview it fine, but as soon as I click "Standard view"
This is where Auctiva just absolutely roots up your code. I have sorted out 99% of the problems however there is one that stumps me.

Any <a href= tag that I put in gets deleted instantly with no trace of it ever been there ?

<a href="http://members.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=fitnessfromscratch" class="about"></a>

I have a few of these inserted in the header.

The entire code works fine on practice board
http://www.practiceboard.com/?0

any Ideas

Hi,

The simple answer is, there isn't anything within the anchor tags to "anchor", i.e. you need an element within the tag for the anchor to operate correctly. I see how they are used as tabs, so I'd suggest using the images that are currently set as background for the tabs/buttons by the class style as the anchors, e.g. <a href="link"><img src="image url"></a> That way a click anywhere on the image (sets the boundary for the anchor) will get the link.

Note, add target="_blank" to the anchor code to abide by eBay new design policy on link to new/blank page for listing links.

Hope that helps.

BTW...nice banner. Wink

Oh, and if that change doesn't appeal, try adding this funky-code as the anchor element. Big Grin

<b style="display:block; font-size:24px; height:24px; width:100%; cursor: pointer"></b>

OR

.bfunky {display:block; font-size:24px; height:24px; width:100%; cursor: pointer}

<b class="bfunky"></b>

If the editor still objects, put a blank space between b's as text.


Gots to Loves the bold tagzies. hehe
