Hi people !

Thanks for reading this post.

I've an anchor tag like this:

><A HREF="https://digitalid.verisign.com/as2/xxxx" TARGET="new"><IMG SRC="images/image01.gif" ></A>

Now, I need to change the link, but I've to somehow incorporate this script:

<script src=https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompanyname.com&
size=S&use_flash=NO&use_transparent=YES></script>


Basically, ppl should be able to click on the image and go to the new url.

I've tried taking the new hyperlink and replacing the current one, but that
doesn't work.

Here's what I've tried:

<A HREF="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompanyname.com&
size=S&use_flash=NO&use_transparent=YES" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="images/image01.gif" ></A>

or

<A HREF="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompanyname.com&size=S&use _flash=NO
&use_transparent=YES" onclick="window.open(this.href,'myWin');return false;"><IMG SRC="images/image01.gif" ></A>

But I'm getting the 'File Download' option opening up as soon as the
link is clicked. The 2 options are to open or save. I saved it,
but it's just 'getseal'. When I tried to open, Windows doesn't know how to open it.

Someone has suggested that "the best place to put a script tag
 is in the header of the html... after you have done that,
the script will be executed when the page is loaded"; but I'm clueless at this point.

I don't really care how I get this to work.

Can someone please show how I would incorporate the script onto the image?

Thanks in advance for your replies !

<script src=www.mycompanyname.com&" target="_blank">https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?ho...mpanyname.com&
size=S&use_flash=NO&use_transparent=YES></script>

This is absolutely incorrect markup. What are you trying to do?

Thanks for your reply Snib.

Well, we had a verisign image for ppl to verify our certificate through their web site.

The original link was this:

<A HREF="https://digitalid.verisign.com/as2/xxxx" TARGET="new"><IMG SRC="images/image01.gif" ></A>

Our old cert expired, so our system engineer gave me the script stuff from verisign to work with for the new cert.

I want ppl to click on the image and take them to verisign to verify.

If it's absolutely incorrect markup, I'll need to verify with the person who gave it to me.

Is there anyway to change the markup to get the link to work?

Thanks for your post.

Sorry Snib. Worry link.

It's like this:

<SCRIPT SRC=https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompanyname.com&size=S&use _flash=NO&use_transparent=YES></SCRIPT>

Any ideas?

This post adds stuffs to my link; that's why it came out wrong in the first place.

It should be like this:

-- ' "
< S C R I P T SRC = h t t p s ://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompany.com&
size=S&use_flash=NO&use_transparent=YES>
< / S C R I P T >
"

So are you trying to link to the page with the seal, or are you trying to link to an external script?

The <script> tags are used to execute script (from a remote file, with the src attribute), and should be used like this:

<script src="http://domain.com/scripts/scripts.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

The <a> tag is for linking to things, they are called anchors or hyperlinks:

<a href="http://domain.com/pages/where_you_want_to_go.extension">Click</a>

The above markup will output something like this: Click

You cannot have spaces in tag names, attributes or attribute values. Therefore...

< S C R I P T SRC = h t t p s ://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompany.com&
size=S&use_flash=NO&use_transparent=YES>
< / S C R I P T >

...is invalid, change it to:

<script src="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mycompany.com&size=S&use_fla sh=NO&use_transparent=YES">
</script>

Notice also how I have quoted the attribute values. It is not always neccessary to do so but it's a good habit to have.

But the bottom line is, are you wanting to execute a script or hyperlink to a page?

I hope I haven't confused you,

Thanks Snib for the exellent explanation. Appreciate it.

I got it to work; the script will only run on the prod server.

THanks, and have a great day !
