Hi,
I am using the J51 grid gallery to allow users to make an appointment with a doctor's practise. This appointment is via an external URL f.i.

http://agenda.sanmax.be//access_public.php?dcode=47888

I was using a wrapper for this in order to allow the patients to stay within the same website, but apparently this is giving problems with InterneT Explorer which needs some changes to it's settings. This apparently is not always obvious for elderly patients.
I now wanted to connect the menu item to above Url, but I get a "404 error - Component not found", which I don't really understand.
The external url is also not translated to the external URL.
I have included two screenshots, one of the settings of the menu item, one of the error received (and the accompanying URL).

I can't really understand what is causing this, but maybe someone can help me out here??

Thank you very much

I just tried it and it worked. I pasted the link you provided in my browser to open the page. Then I copied the link from the browser into Joomla and it worked.

Well, actually, Internet Explorer takes me to a different page. Beats me. :huh:

Well, in order for IE to work properly you have to add the agenda.sanmax domain to the list ot trusted domains. This is something that some people can't accomplish, therefor I wanted to connect the image to the external url...

I have now, for the time being, bypassed this problem by adding a table (whoops .. yes a table) to the template position and linking every picture to the external URL...
It works, but I am not a big fan of tables ..
