RootsWeb Message Board Graphic Using HTML Doctype
You will need to know the URL (address) of the message board you want to
link to before you begin customizing the coding for this graphic. Instructions
for customizing this graphic:
- Copy and paste the coding shown by viewing the source code into the
coding for your page.
- Insert the last segment of the message board URL between the empty quote
marks (value="") in the two
input lines highlighted below.
The last segment is defined as the part appearing after the last equal sign
(=) in the message board URL. It will start with "surnames," "localities,"
or "topic." The revised input lines should look similar to this:
<input type="HIDDEN" name="np" value="topics.software.frontpage/mb.ashx">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="p" value="topics.software.frontpage/mb.ashx">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="filter" value="topics.software.frontpage/mb.ashx">
- Replace http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.software.frontpage/mb.ashx
with the full (complete) URL of the message board you are
linking to. The URL needs to be inside the quote marks, as shown.
- Replace Message Board Description
with the name of your message board. The description needs to be inside
the quote marks, as shown. Non-breaking spaces ( ) may result in a
broken graphic and are not recommended.
