It would be easier for us to read and help you if you would put your code within [ code ] tags. Use the # button on the reply screen. And put it in a new post in this topic so we'll know you've been back. Otherwise, we're likely not to see it.

hay just learnt something else smart lol
thanks for that one  too

the first code works by means of a clickable image but the second one comes up with url and image not just a image that takes you to another site,i have wrote them the same so why would the second one do what its doing ?

First, you should remove the

"target=_blank"


part of your code. The BBC url tag automatically opens a new browser window when the link is clicked.

I'm not sure why your first one works, to tell you the truth. The ending url tag should be after the img tag.

Give this a try:
