JavaScript Links at CJ Start Today

June 23, 2006 by Shawn Collins

The not mandatory, but default, JavaScript links are in full effect at Commission Junction today.

This is Phase I of the Link Management Initiative (LMI) at CJ. Affiliates still have the option to use Legacy (HTML) links for all relationships through the beginning of 2007.

CJ has not yet scheduled a date when the Legacy links will be discontinued, and they’ve stated that they will notify affiliates at least six months in advance of making this change.

Below is part of the window that pops up when affiliates now click “Get HTML” for their affiliate links.

When clicking “Legacy Link Code (non-JavaScript),” affiliates are brought to a window with the following message:

JavaScript technology is now the default for Commission Junction links. In order to take advantage of future enhancements, we encourage you to incorporate JavaScript links. For a limited time, you may access legacy code for this link by selecting the ‘Access Legacy Code’ button below.

After clicking “Access Legacy Code,” the JavaScript is replaced by HTML code.

Now they just have to replace “Get HTML” with “Get JavaScript” in the “Get Links” area of the affiliate interface.
