Bad Link Definition ERROR while saving S-Control - Please help

Does any one know what this means?

I think this has something to do with the syntax of the scontrol.  Make sure that it is well formed html, especially if you are using any embed tags.

Surprisingly, when I try to create a new s-control by copyint HTML code from one of the existing s-controls, I get the same error.
I am unable to save the existing control as well. I just tried a simple change to the exsting code and tried to save it.
Does it have anything to do with the sice?

DevAngel,

In your first post you had mentioned:

What I am trying to say is that when I tried to create a new s-control using HTML code save in existing s-control, I got the same error. Now since the previous s-control was saved successfully, I don't think there was any issue with the HTML.

Hence I asked the question - can size of the HTML code cause this error. The s-control that I have is very big.

It is very possible that this is the case.  I don't know what the maximum size is.

You can place a lot of your javascript into a separate file and upload the file as part of the scontrol.  You would need to add a script tag to reference this file.  The tag is

<script src="{!{!Scontrol_URL}" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hi, let me correct that URL:

<script src="{!Scontrol_URL}" type="text/javascript"></script>

and qualify what "a lot of" means. By trial and error, I've discovered that you can't include any jscript that has {!variable} callouts. This hasn't been a problem for me so far; I have a single initpage() function which contains any such variables that need to be referenced, and I use

<body onload="initPage();">

to kick things off.

Maxxum,

Try this - it will work.  Enter only a few HTML tags into the body like

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

</body>
</html>

Save it, then go back Edit the SControl, and add the original code.   This worked for me and the only way I could create one of my controls

Not sure if anyone is still reading these, but I encountered this issue and resolved it by fixing one of my tags:

My  {!Contact_HomePhone} should have been {!Contact_HomePhone1} - I had my field name typed wrong.

that change adding "1" resolved it.
