Re^6: rel="nofollow" tag syntax?

Hi Corion,
Got your code to work, sort of :-|
Not sure why it's reversing the order of things and putting the nofollow before the href in the HTML:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/">http://www.example.com/</a>

Here's what I put in:
print a({-href => $val[5], -rel => 'nofollow'}, $linktext);

Obviously I'm still messing something up in modifying the script:

my $page_link;
if ($val[5]) {
    # construct link if value is not NULL (undef) or empty
    my $linktext = $val[5];
    $linktext = substr($linktext, 0, 27) . "..." . substr($linktext, -
+10)
        if length($val[5]) > 40;

    $page_link = a ({-href => "$val[5]"}, $linktext);

Thanks again,

Hashes like that `{ -href => ..., -rel => ...}` construct are unsorted. You can't rely on any specific order. Thankfully, HTML is the same in this regard. the order of attributes doesn't matter, so `<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/">http://www.example.com/</a>` is completely equivalent to `<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/</a>` "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

Still not getting this :-\| Is there a way that I can modify the line `$page_link = a ({-href => "$val[5]"}, $linktext);` without using the print function at this point in the script? Something like this perhaps? (but that works ;-) `$page_link = a({-href => $val[5], -rel => 'nofollow'}, $linktext);` Thanks, -Bob bobafifi.com	[reply] [d/l] [select]
