Hotmail href links

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 10.2004

Hi,

I am sending emails from php which include a href to my site to varify something. It works fine in all other email systems accept hotmail, coz it opens all things in there stupid msn browser.

That browser doesn’t allow any sort of variable in the urls such as ?referral=’blah’ or when they try and login on my site under the hotmail winder that dont work either as it doesn’t register the session variables

any1 have any ideas what i can do about this is there some code to load it up outside of hotmail or something?

thanks
adam

@HaganeNoKokoroOct 10.2004 — You could put a break-out-of-frames javascript on the target page:
<i>
</i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
if(window!=top) top.location=window.href;
&lt;/script&gt;

This solution is unfortunately javascript dependent. The only other way I can think of is you could put a little message that says "copy the link into a new browser window because it won't work in the hotmail frameset" or something.

Success!
