Hi David

I notice at the start of every image URL you have a forward slash '/'.. removing this will hopefully resolve the issue for you.

Ciarán

Hi Ciaran,

Thank you for the quick reply. I can see that on-screen, at the front end of the website there is a stray forward slash, but it's not in the code at the back end. This is how the code appears in the admin. area of the website:

<a href="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/"; target="_blank" title="We're supporting OxfordShowcase.org"><img src="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/images/Showcases/SeeUsOnOxfordShowcaseSMALL.png"; border="0" alt="" width="300" height="60" /></a>

I have tried turning off the editor, since I know that this sometimes does strange things with code, but it's the same. That's to say the code at the backend still appears without the forward slash, but at the front end there is a forward slash! Can you help?

Best wishes,

David G

Hi David

Try encoding your HTML to before adding via your editor. This will ensure that the code is not altered on save.... http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/HTMLEncode/Encode.aspx

Hi Ciarán,

I've removed the forward slash from the start of the URL and have sent it to the client, but it's not working. Here is the code:

<a href="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/"; target="_blank" title="We're supporting OxfordShowcase.org"><img src="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/images/Showcases/SeeUsOnOxfordShowcaseSMALL.png"; border="0" alt="" width="150" height="30" /></a>

I've attempted to use http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/HTMLEncode/Encode.aspx, as suggested and here is the output code:

<a href="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/"; target="_blank" title="We're supporting OxfordShowcase.org"><img src="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/images/Showcases/SeeUsOnOxfordShowcaseSMALL.png"; border="0" alt="" width="150" height="30" /></a>

I've sent this to the client who isn't happy about using it, since it doesn't look right, particularly since it doesn't start with <a href.

Can you help?

Best wishes,

David G

Sorry ...

I've sent you the wrong output code. Here it is:

<a href="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/"; target="_blank" title="We're supporting OxfordShowcase.org"><img src="http://www.oxfordcitywalk.co.uk/images/Showcases/SeeUsOnOxfordShowcaseSMALL.png"; border="0" alt="" width="150" height="30" /></a>

Hi David

Sorry to say there is no other away around this. The only way to get the internet browser to display the code rather than render it is to either edit the code with a non HTML element (/) or to encode the HTML. As you can see from your previous post the code you entered has changed once rendered by the browser to display as you wish.

Ciarán

Thank you Ciarán,

I'm afraid that I'm not sure I really understand your reply. Do you mean that the original code is incorrect?

Would you be happy to cut and paste the code into your website temporarily to see if it works? I have no third part website to do this.

Best wishes,

Hi David

Your code is been changed by your editor when saved. This is done because other wise your code will render (display image rather than the code for the image). The only alternative is to encode your HTML as already suggested.

Hi Ciarán,

I'm afraid this doesn't seem to be working, even when it's encoded. Can you see what's wrong?

As on previous occasions, I'm very happy to give you access to the backend of the site if you want to have a closer look

This is not a template related query however we will take a quick look for you if you wish. Details can be sent to info@joomla51.com. Please paste a link to this post in your email for our reference.

Ciarán

Thank you Ciaran,

I'm now emailing you some more information.

Best wishes,

Hi David

Your encoded HTML appears to be displaying correctly? No long see the stray trailing slash at the beginning of each URL?

Ciarán

Hi Ciarán,

Thank you for having a look. The code still doesn't seem to display the image however. Would you have an idea why? Have you already tried pasting it into your website? If it does display correctly when you try to use the code, are you able to make suggestions about what I'm doing wrong?

Best wishes,

David G

Testng on JSFiddle your code is working fine.

Ciarán

Hi Ciaran,

Thank you for your help with this. I'm afraid that we still can't get the code to work however

Best wishes,

David G
