Hi everyone

Just trying to add a link to another site in my sqidoo lens description I think I need to add html.

Any ideas?

    Where exactly on your lens are you trying to put the HTML? It definitely works in text modules and your introduction.

    Your code looks correct except that you might have "smart quotes" in there instead of plain quote marks - take a look in your lens and see. If you copied and pasted from Word that would do it.

    If you want to PM me the lens URL with the code in, I'll take a look at it.

    I always use this one. Plus your quotes are wrong, the should be ""

    Your above code has an error in it I believe. (It needs a space, but it may still work with the error. Depends how strict the site/browser is etc). Also, as Heimir says, it looks like you are using the wrong quote key. Did you copy and paste from word or something and ended up with a microsoft quotation mark instead of the quote on the keyboard. Usually it's found above the 2 key or next to the enter key. It looks like this "

    Perhaps you made a typo here on this forum. If your code is OK then you may have to show us the lens.

    Wrong:
    <a href="http://www.mysite.com"target="_blank">description</a>

    Right:
    <a href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">description</a>

    Yes Steadyon has got it right - you need a space between the " and target, then it should work fine.
