    I've just installed Sidepanel and followed the instructions in the readme file. I replaced the commented line with this image link:

    <a href="http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com" target="_blank" title="Visit the Animal Rescue Site and help a furry friend today!><img src="http://www.lascrucesclicks.com/forums/pets/themes/vanilla/styles/default/btn_animalrescue.gif" alt="Animal Rescue Site" /></a>

    When I view my forum pages, I see nothing in the sidebar - yet when I view source the code is there! Why isn't it displaying? Have I done something stupidly wrong that I'm totally missing?

    Link to my forum, if you view source you can see the code from Sidepanel.

    Please help!

    You're missing the closing quote for the title attribute.

    Firefox's Source Viewer highlighted this error in red. If you don't have FF yet, it's a priceless addition to any webmaster's arsenal ;)

    Also, for the sake of all things good in this world, remove the target="_blank" attribute. (target="_blank" replacement)

    SOLVED.

    Thanks a lot, sirlancelot. I figured it was a matter of operator error - and even worse is that I do use FF and I noticed the file path highlighted in red...but I didn't think anything of it. Duh.

    Thanks also for the info about target="_blank". I try to follow web standards and I didn't realize it was on its way out. I don't care for the popup code, so I've just eliminated target all together. I wish there were a way to make a link open in a new tab rather than window, as most newer browsers support tabs.
