h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

II have created a link on my my to whos online thing as it says you can do on one of the help pages, but when iclck it it doesnt do anything...help??

err, it works for me....
Hang on Just Me, I shall investigate further

This is gonna sounds stupid maybe, but are you sure it doesnt work?
What browser are you using?

Do you have Java enabled?

I come in here through a link in my tv email as I dont have a PC,everything else seems to work so far though!, maybe it does work and is just slow! nothing happened at all when I clicked on it ,waited 5 minutes or so.

Hmmm, I think I might be because your tv doesnt have java activated, but I know nothing about using tvs to browse the net whatsoever, so I am going to have to go and ask someone else...

Meanwhile, someome who does know might pop in if were lucky...

I will be back shortly

thanks .

In the meantime, you may as well tell me what service you are using to surf with...

im with telewest for my cable tv .u get a limited interactive service with it.someone sent me a link on my tv email that takes you to the bbbci website,i coe in here through that.some things,like lins to other sites o the internet bring up an acess deied screen,but this is ok.

I have located a Guru with some WebTV experience, (U178815) and left a message, so hopefully aka will come along and join us at somepoint realtively soon... I suggest you visit hir space, as it has Web TV tips (which I am currently reading in the hope of finding a way to help )

Hey there Just Me, seems like BrownFurby may have an answer for you - he too could never get the gadget to work, but says that using this link instead should work fine, if you are using GuideML:
Click here to find out who is online

YOu dont need to use GuideML for this link though, you can do it with text as well.

You will need to use the </.> and <./> tags, along with the word "online".
I have had to write the two tags the wrong way around, becasue if I put them the other way round they function as they are meant to and try to turn text into a link.

SO I can make the link by typing <./>online</.> but you cant see tags

Type in <. />online</ .> without any spaces and hopefully it will turn out fine .

Thanks for all your help

No worries, it really is my pleasure- i am learning with you

Have you got it to work yet though?

to your space
back.

You havent tried it yet ?

Ahh! When I know how to fix ths problem of WebTV not able to use javascript-pop up windows, I find it's already been answered! Ah well...

You might find this interesting, and /or useful, Just me : A700200

Hi aka, thanks for popping by - did you notice yet that A700200 has been moderated? I havent been able to see it yet

Aye, I did, he says, in his best yorkshire accent

I saw an e-mail, when I logged in after sending that message

What it was, was I quoted my particular WebTV package, and it was removed because it was a commercial site... surely that's rubbish! I've linked to sites with commercials before!! (Unless its getting at the Fact that they're "selling" a service.. not advertising it )

Try A700200 again now It should be on now
