[SOLVED] code help!

[fjbarker]

I've got a problem that is only showing up in IE....

Here's my echo statement:

 
echo "<a href=\"".($this->link)."\" target=\"".($this->target)."\">".($this->title)."</a>";

This is the echo statement from my RSS parser....

link = link from rss feed

target = target for the link (_blank or _self) to control what window the link opens in

title = text for the link

 

The code runs and works fine in Firefox but in IE the _self ("target"=_self) is not reconized in IE

Here is the code that is generated by the PHP

 

  <a href="http://www.google.com
		" target="_self
		">Google
		</a>

 

Why is it placed on different lines.... I know this shouldn't matter but, for some reason it effects IE

echo "<a href=\"".trim($this->link)."\" target=\"".trim($this->target)."\">".trim($this->title)."</a>";

 

Maybe you also need htmlspecialchars to avoid XSS.

the class probably has a \n at the end of the values. Seems to going to a new line after each return value from your class. can try and fix that and see what happens
