Dear Sir/Madam,

My two applications:

1. http://www.myspace.com/393598394

2. http://www.myspace.com/384692473

 was denied, here is the comment from MySpace admin:

MySpace Applications and MySpace Application Content must not navigate the top browser window to a new location, except by using the Open Social "navigateTo" call. Any advertisement link that is not for another application will navigate the top browser. 

The top ads provided by Socialmedia, the bottom ads provided by Cubics.  I think we can not control how and where the ads will navigate when a user click on it.  We just include the ads code into our code, and the actual ads page is formed by the ads server.  We really have no control on the code.  I think MySpace should talk to the ads providers to let them change the ads page.

How can we fix this problem?

It took one an half month for these two apps to be approved, and they are still not approved.  It's really painful!

Thanks.

Here is the acutal ads code from SocialMedia:

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="http://www.socialmedia.com/network/opensocial/js/smms.js?pop=1&pubid=72143f5fbefd4842f02ffc4e569a94e2">
</script>
<iframe name="socialmedia_ad" id="socialmedia_ad"  style="border:0px;" width="645" height="60" scrolling="no"

frameborder="0"></iframe>

When "pop=1&" included, the ads will open a new window on click.  Does this cause the problem?  If Yes, I can simply remove the "pop=1&" option.

Yes, that solves the problem.

All external links need to be opened in a new window.

Here is the new feedback

 1. User Experience / Functionality: Open External Links On the Canvas Surface, clicking on the ad link below the app, user is taken to site "http://social.bidsystem.com/" in the same window. Please have all external links open in new windows. 

 But the ads code was generated by Cubics's server, we do not have any control on the ads code.  How can we make change?

here is the actual ads code we put into our code

<table width="600" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#ffffff">
    <tr>
        <td align="center">
            <!--- Cubics.com Ad Code START -->
            <script type="text/javascript">
                var pid = 21403;
                var plid = 19169;
                var adSize = "645x60";
                var linkColor = "%230033ff";
                var textColor = "%23000000";
                var bgColor = "%23ffffff";
                var channel = "MySpace%20-%20Send%20a%20Rose";
                var frameSize = "645x60";
            </script>
            <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://cubics.com/displayAd.js"> </script>
            <!--- Cubics.com Ad Code END -->
         </td>
     </tr>
<%----%>
</table> 

Do you have any official documentation that shows Cubics ads cannot be opened in a new window?

Johnny 

Cubics does not support any param like this. have the same problem with approval.

you can look at their javascript rendering linked above - no param for devs to manage opening in a new window.

Johnny,

What we can get from Cubics is the code above.  Other approved apps which use Cubics have the same problem.  This is not what we can solve.  I think you need directly talk with Cubics to let them solve this problem.

seems you guys have different criteria, one of my app which include Google Analytics code got approved.  But above apps are not allowed to use Google Analytics since the js file is not inline script. 

It took almost two months for me to get above two apps approved, they are still on the waiting list.  It's so painful.

Hello Rocky,

Both apps are live.
