My links to usenet newsgroups do not work. Any ideas?
My link.html is set up like this:

<b><a target="_new" class="link" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"onMouseOver="status='<%URL%>'; return true"
onMouseOut="status=''; return
true"><%Title%></a></b>

So I thought maybe it was the target="_new" so I took that out. That didn't seem to help.
Is there something that might be in the jump.cgi?

Thanks!
Adam

Can you explain what happens when you click on a link? Have you appended "news:" to the URL? If you provide a URL, it may be easier to see what the problem is.

When I leave the link like the red in my original message then it brings up a new browser window and flashes.

When I eliminate all the extra and just have <a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>"><%Title%></a>
then it just flashes in the original window.

My url.db entry looks like 978|news:alt.news
I know my browser is set to work properly because when I go to yahoo and click a link there that is similar it works fine. It must have something to do with the jump.cgi.

Thanks,
Adam

Can you give the URL to your site; it's sometimes easier to look directly at what's happening.

Nothing personal, but I have yet to give out the address on this board. I would prefer not to at this time because of the development and other issues. Thanks anyway for offering to help.

There is a thread in the links sql forum similar to my problem. http://gossamer-threads.com/...ew=&sb=&vc=1

If you want, you can send me a private message via the forum with the information I requested. Up to you.

Interesting, it works fine in IE, just not Netscape.
