External links not working

Hi all,

I've looked around but can't find anything explained about this. I've got a code block which is basically three buttons linking out to youtube videos. 

I've tested it with non-youtube links and various type of youtube link refferal, and every link is being blocked.

I'm not sure if this is intentional behaviour or if I'm running into a specific issue.

Thanks,

- Dan

    Hi Dan,

    I had a similar issue with an interaction I was working on. I made a small adjustment to my original code for the link which seems to have done the trick and links now working.


    Original part of code surrounding my link:

    ......  that can be found <a href="LINK GOES HERE">here</a> ......

     


    Changed to:

    ......  that can be found <a href="LINK GOES HERE" target="_blank">here</a> ......

     


    The simple addition of the extra bit of code to ensure the link opened in a new tab/window worked for me.

    I hope a similar addition may help with your interaction!

    All the best,
    Hamish
