HTML Link Question
How do I write a link to a search in Apple iBookstore on iTunes?
Here is a proper link to one book in iBooks: <a href=" http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn#############">Apple iBooks</a> Where ###... is a 13 digit ISBN number. I wish to link to a search that returns all book by one author from one publisher. The search is simple: Publisher Name, Author Last Name The comma is important. I want to link to the page with all the books listed. Here is the syntax for the search result: http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?media=all&term=Publisher+Name%2C+Author I have not successfully integrated this in an HTML line. Any sugestions or solutions? Thanks - Fabe P.S. I posted this in the Apple forums, but no one has responded. All the smart people hang out here. |

It should work just like your first example—provided your search url syntax is correct.
Code:
<a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?media=all&term=Random+House%2C+McCarthy">Link Text</a> I don't have iTunes so it won't let me (or anybody else who doesn't have an iTunes account) even see the results of such a search, so.... |

In your example, you have a space between the quote and the start of the URL. That can cause some problems.

You will need to encode the & in the url as &.
