[RESOLVED] vBulletin code for "hotlink"

[Ellis Dee]

I don't know what you call it, but I'd like to be able to create a link that doesn't open a new browser window, but instead simply moves the focus to another post on the same page of the current thread. IOW, it shouldn't requery the server at all.

Is that possible? If so, anybody know the tag codes?

Unfortunately there is no way of doing that with this version of the board software. You can use the [url], [thread], and [post] tags, but the only links they will create are absolute.

If this is for a thread for the FAQ forum, there is a way to do it (as in the Classic VB index), but it is only for that forum.

If this is for a tutorial as I suspect, then I don't think there is a solution (unless we have it in the FAQ forum, and have a link to it from the tutorial forum).

What's that?

A standard HTML anchor - as HTML is enabled in that forum.

Oh. Yeah. Doh.

I was hoping to do it when I finally* finish the sorting demo, having hotlinks from the "table" in the OP going to the individual posts later in the thread.

It's really not a FAQ, so I'll just use post tags. No biggee. Thanks for the responses, guys.

(* I mistakenly set up the graphical sorting first. Now every time I open the project I find myself watchng the little lines draw instead of adding the actual benchmark code. heh.)
