XML Help - Linking thumbnail to URL

[s7mish]

Hello,

I am very new to XML and having trouble linking a thumbnail to a URL. The XML is already set up to grab files and pages from the web FTP, but now, I am trying to link to a new site, in a new window.

Here is a piece of what the XML I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Odd that target=_blank is in the same tag as the URL you're referencing. Is that part of the language's specification?

cant you just put a <a around the thumbnail in the parsing code?

Alex - I was looking up some searches on this prior to posting in this forum, so the target _blank I copy and pasted to try because I want it to link in a new window. That sure didn't work...

seco - Do you mind showing me how it should look with the <a around the thumbnail?

Sorry, I'm such a noob. All the thumbnail codes work fine. They show up and do what they're supposed to do, except that it won't link correctly to the URL.

Thanks...really appreciate your help.
