Navigation NETQUOTEVAR's not being parsed

[Tripwire]

Quoting from the Advanced users guide:

If you prefer, you can just use the URL of each navigation button as part of your own custom navigation control. To do this simply add the word 'LINK' onto the end of any of the above variables, and place them within an <a> tag. For instance:
<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK">. . .</a>
…will create a link to the shopping cart.

I did exactly this on a site I'm working on and it worked great but for some strange reason it has stopped working

My Act_Primary.html navigation code is:

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Home','','home_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="home_btn_off.gif" alt="Go back to the Homepage..." name="Home" width="61" height="30" border="0"></a></TD>
<TD><IMG SRC="grey.gif" WIDTH=392 HEIGHT=30 ALT=""></TD>
<TD><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBINFOLINK" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Info','','info_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="info_btn_off.gif" alt="Site Info" name="Info" width="48" height="30" border="0"></a></TD>
<TD><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSITEMAPLINK" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Sitemap','','sitemap_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="sitemap_btn_off.gif" alt="Sitemap" name="Sitemap" width="64" height="30" border="0"></a></TD>
<TD><a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('email.php',640,500);" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Email','','email_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="email_btn_off.gif" alt="Email us" name="Email" width="55" height="30" border="0"></a></TD>
<TD><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Viewcart','','viewcart_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="viewcart_btn_off.gif" alt="View the contents of your shopping cart..." name="Viewcart" width="76" height="30" border="0"></a></TD>
<TD><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUTLINK" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Checkout','','checkout_btn_on.gif',1)"><img src="checkout_btn_off.gif" alt="Go to the checkout to order your goods..." name="Checkout" width="84" height="30" border="0"></a>

These NETQUOTEVARS now get stripped out! I've uploaded what I have so far so you can see what I mean. Have a look at www.rotecweldingequipment.co.uk/acatalog to see what I mean. Just blank <a href=""> tags ???

Anyone know why this has happened?

I appreciate I can hardcode the links but I would prefer not to.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

I don't know why it would be stripped out. Just out of interest, have you tried just to do a normal href text like the following:

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK">Checkout Test</a>

Does the above code get stripped out as well

Kind Regards

Does the above code get stripped out as well

Yes it does

Hi there,

Please go to "Design | Options | Navigation". I wonder, under Description, do you have any text here for the "View Cart" and "Checkout", if not, then please place him so text here. You could also putting a blank image for the "View Cart" and "Checkout".

Please check this

Kind Regards

Thanks Nadeem, I had removed the descriptions thinking they weren't needed
