Topic: Hyperlinks help for SV-Pro 2

Hi,

I've implemented a SV-Pro 2 slideshow with multiple galleries. Visit:
http://www.taylor-graphics.net/landing_page.html

Two galleries have art so far, the Web Design and Brochures galleries.

What I want to do is link each of the 10 web design larger slides to their own respective websites on the internet.

Do I add a link within the caption tags on the gallery.xml page like so?
<caption>Animal Ark Custom Website   Client: Animal Ark Pets, Orem, UT    <a href="http:animalarkpetsutah.com">Visit website</a></caption>

However, I'm using an <iframe> to target each gallery. So, when I include the above <a href> tag within the caption tags, and then click on the linked text, the external website comes up within the <iframe>, instead of going to a "_blank" separate page, which is what I would like to have happen.

Plus, I notice that that the <a href> tag shoves the linked text onto another line in the caption area. I don't like that.

Here's my gallery.xml code for the first Web Design art sample:
<image imageURL="images/animal_ark.jpg"
    thumbURL="thumbs/animal_ark.jpg"
    linkURL="images/animal_ark.jpg"
    linkTarget="_blank">
    <caption>Animal Ark Custom Website   Client: Animal Ark Pets, Orem, UT</caption>
</image>

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Re: Hyperlinks help for SV-Pro 2

What I want to do is link each of the 10 web design larger slides to their own respective websites on the internet.

This can be achieved by setting imageClickMode="OPEN_URL" in your gallery's XML file, in which case, when the user clicks on the main image, the URL specified in the corresponding linkURL will be opened.
If you would like the link to be within a caption, use HTML formatting as described here: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … l#custom_1
The example in the link above includes the attribute target="_blank" to the <a> tag which will open the URL in a new tab/window rather than inside the <iframe>.
Also, inserting an <a> tag within a caption does not automatically insert a line break. Please see the first image in this gallery for an example of a caption containing an <a> tag on the same line as the preceding text: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/examples/modern/
