Firefox 3 Banner: Minor Hitch
-
I know that many WordPress.com users are Firefox fans, and I expect that many of us will be downloading Firefox 3 when it is released next Tuesday. The Mozilla/Firefox folk are encouraging download on release day, hoping to break the download record. To that end, they provide various nifty banners and buttons for bloggers to use. See:
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/homepageMy own first attempt to use one of these didn’t work. It seems that some of the provided code was stripped out by the WordPress.com Write page. Here’s the code I copied and pasted:
<a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node&id=59966&t=271"><img border="0" alt="Download Day - English" title="Download Day - English" src="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/files/images/affiliates_banners/180x150_02c_en.png"/></a>Somewhere around “title,” the editor took exceptions and stripped out code, including “src=” SO I just put the “src=” back in.
<a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node&id=59966&t=271"><img border="0" alt="Download Day - English" src="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/files/images/affiliates_banners/180x150_02c_en.png"></a>I wasn’t sure whether to post such a straightforward fix to a very specific problem. But I just did, because I expect that others will encounter it. And yet others may be happy to have this current Spread Firefox initiative brought to their attention.

Thanks for posting this…I find WP widgets very frustrating. Probably wouldn’t have bothered to figure this out myself.

Similar problem with the newer widgets:
<a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node&id=241269&t=323"><img border="0" alt="Foxkeh" title="Foxkeh" src="http://images.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/Buttons/firefox3/foxkeh-fx3-125x125.png"/></a>had to become (after I manually added the src field):
<a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node&id=241269&t=323"><img border="0" src="http://images.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/Buttons/firefox3/foxkeh- fx3-125x125.png"></a>
