ok i don’t understand why my links don’t go to the site they are supposed to and why an error message comes up. I did\r\ron (release) {\r getURL (“[www.asus.com](http://www.asus.com)”, “\_blank”);\r}\r but when i click the asus button it leads me to my site [www3.sympatico.ca/h.ahmad/www.asus.com instead of going just to www.asus.com](http://www3.sympatico.ca/h.ahmad/www.asus.com) … whats up and how do i fix it??

hmm… the only thing I can think of to try is using a full URL.\r\r"\[www.etc.com/somepageILike.html](http://www.etc.com/somepageILike.html)"\\r\rI know that I often get foibled on that.

you have to put the “h t t p : / /” in there too just take out the spaces…
