Since an image tag doesn't use an end (closing) tag, you have to write <img src="blahblah" /> Your second image has it, but the first one doesn't. It's the same with a line break: <br />

P.S. You can see some amazon stuff in action at my site:

Moonchild,

Thank you very much for the hints.

I tried your suggestions but I still have the error. My b2evo version is v0.92. I'm wondering if the version number is related to the problem.

I actually put your source code on your site into my "write", I had "invalid URL" error message.

Is my b2evo version old? Or...

Ahhh.... what should I do...

Even I put text link like

<a href="http://www.masaus.com/product--asp--ProdID--28417--af--page.htm?REFID={2CEFC86D-C5F3-4FCB-9EA1-338979804A0E}&AffiliateVariable=">Test Test Test</a>

I got "Invalid URL" error.

I think I should learn more about HTML and PHP?

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.

I think the double dashes are messing you up.
I use two types of links on my site. One is generated by a php file which searches Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572814349/ref=nosim/moonchildch-20?dev-t=D2WMCOIPS9D14E

I got the php file here: http://www.chipdir.nl/amazon/. I had trouble using this format in the "Link to Url" field. So the ones I enter there look like this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=as2&path=ASIN/0062516590&tag=moonchildch-20&camp=1789&creative=9325

I wrote to Amazon customer service, just to make sure it's a valid link. I've found them to be very responsive and helpful.

Also try changing the & to &amp; just because maybe it's an issue. Not sure though.

Looking again at your original post--there's that second image used for tracking. It's possible that the problem is with using "width," "height," and "style" together. Try putting the width and height *into* the style. Or put the whole style into the stylesheet.

Moonchild, EdB,

Thank you for your help. But I cannot put the link on my blog yet... I don't know why...

Again, I just copied and pasted the code from Amazon.com. Then it doesn't work. The errors are always two as follows,

1. Found invalid URL: Invalid URL
2. Parser error: mismatched tag:

I have trid other link from another affiliate program. #1 always occurs. But when I copied and pasted the URL in the anchor on my web browser, I always get their webpage correctly.

I visited your, Moonchild's website and checked your code and found you don't use the code from Amazon. I think one of the key issues should be there. Have you tried their code directly?

I have also tried WordPress to do same thing and it didn't have any problem with the code.

I think I should ask Amazon to know what's going on here as you recommend.

Again, my code is,

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=as2&path=ASIN/B000CSOXTO&tag=yourcutegadge-20&camp=1789&creative=9325"><img border="0" src="B000CSOXTO.01._AA_SCMZZZZZZZ_V55597774_.jpg"></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=yourcutegadge-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000CSOXTO" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />

If you find anything more, please let me know.

I really appreciate your continuous help.
