External link when searching is dodgy

[Tibbs]

Hi all again.

I've got another problem with the site I've put up.

Please take a look - www.wirelessstore.co.uk

I have an external link in the majority of products that opens a new window to the manufacturers support page for that particular product. The reason I used this and not the extended info link that Actinic does is because I wanted a new browser window so people didn't leave the site. The HTML I use in the product description is something like this:

!!<<br><a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('http://www.netgear.co.uk/html/pdfs/wag311.pdf',800,600)"> Click Here for full information</a>>!!

It works fine when you browse for the product on the menu system but when you use the search to find the product it then adds www.wirelessstore.co.uk/acatalog infront of the link which is not a valid URL so I get a 404. It only happens when searching.

Also I've noticed that links to products via searching start a little down the page like this link...

http://www.wirelessstore.co.uk/cgi-bin/000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ewirelessstore%2eco%2euk%2f&WD=cisco&SHOP=%20&PREVQUERY=SS%3dcisco%26PR%3d%2d1%26TB%3dA%26SHOP%3d%20&PN=Online_Catalogue_CISCO_AIR_BR350_E_K9_66%2ehtml%23a54#a54

Any ideas on this crazy one please?

Many thanks
Simon

If you de-select 'Highlight Located Text' in 'View | Search Settings | Results', the Actinic search results page will use a standard URL for the link to the product (rather than a link via the search script) and should stop this from happening.

Thanks a lot Chris.

That works great.
