adding menu icons with a link outside proboards

I have found two threads in this forum that answer this question, and used the code from both. I have the same problem.

I am trying to add a menu icon with a link to an outside site.


I have used this code

Main Footer

<script>
menuAdd = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for (ma=0;ma<menuAdd.length;ma++){
if (menuAdd[ma].className=='menubg'){
menuAdd[ma].innerHTML+="<a href='URL OF LINK'target='_blank'><img src='URL OF IMAGE' border='0'></a>"
}}
</script>

and this code

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// extra links in menu

menu = document.getElementsByTagName('td')[5];

menu.innerHTML+='<a href="url of link" target="_blank"><img src="url of image" border="0" alt="menu link" /></a>'
menu.innerHTML+='<a href="url of link" target="_blank"><img src="url of image" border="0" alt="menu link" /></a>'
// -->
</script>

You need to edit the bold parts, and put it at the top of your global header.

both successfully add the buttons with a link, but they automatically add the proboards address to the front of the URL that I add.

Is there any way to prevent that from happening.

TIA for your help

you have to have an hosted image for this part--> "url of image"

and make sure to have http:// in front of the URL.
