Stupid Download Module!

I'm trying to do something else now.. I've had some success, learned some stuff, and become frustrated that I can't do what I want to do now.

Basically I want to make a more obvious "Download this file now" type link in the downloads modules. I've tried creating a new CSS style for links called "alignright"... Aside from the fact that I haven't gotten it to align anything right yet (I've managed to get it to change font size and color, I'm leaving the align right part at the moment) I can't get the darn link to link to the download. Instead it's just linking to the page! This is the code I've been working with:

Code:




        echo "<a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;d_op=getit&amp;lid=$lid\">$title</a>"; /* This is the d*** title of the download with the link included */


        echo " | <a href class=alignright\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;d_op=getit&amp;lid=$lid\">$title</a>"; /*this is my stupid experiment, my next thought is that I have to find the download link method on the page where it doesn't name the download in order to work out how to do this properly*/


   newdownloadgraphic($datetime, $time);

Now for some reason one of these links to the right one and the other doesn't.. Any ideas?

I'm going to keep working at it...

You can see the place I want to have the link to the download.. It says "I'm working on this"....

WHY WON'T IT WORK!!!... I don't normally shout.. I'm going to bed..

Your second line isn't valid. You have not formatted the anchor tag appropriately. maybe something like this:

Code:




        echo " | <a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;d_op=getit&amp;lid=$lid\" class=\"alignright\">$title</a>";

However, I am really not understanding what you are trying to do with the align right thing. You may need to use a table with td tags to separate things out more or place on a separate line and use a < div > tag to align it to the right.
