Hi Kay,
The prior line of code is controlling the green button's link. This part needs
to be incorporated into the hasMirrorLink if then else.
//alert ("myURLlink :" + myURLlink);
document.write( "<div class=\"first button green\" id=\"optionitem1\"
onclick=\"openItem('optionitem1','" + LINK + "');"
+ "return false;\">" );
Regards,
Dave
