Very simple

Question

I'm trying to link to a book on Amazon. I've boiled it all down to a very simple piece of code which does not take me to Amazon when I click on the link. If I just put the address into a browser then the page loads fine. How can something so simple not work?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p><a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/093849743X" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Amazon Link</a></p>

</body>
</html>

Sorry. Poor use of English. I just meant that I was trying the code in an online service where you can paste your code and 'try it'. — user740360, Dec 07 '15 at 13:05
That's an important piece of contextual information you should clarify instead of remove. — deceze, Dec 07 '15 at 13:15

It's because most webpages don't allow you to display them in frames. If you open the JS console of your browser you will see something like

Refused to display 'http://www.amazon.com/dp/093849743X/?tag=stackoverfl08-20' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.

Just save it as a .html file on your pc and run it. The link will work.

well it works fine on my pc if you want to show the link on your website you can use iframe in your code like

<iframe src="www.google.com" height="500" width="500"></iframe>
