I am making some clickable buttons in the home page of my instance through a java script that is called from the welcome.html file. These buttons correspond to my most used tools. For example I have a section like this:

<div align="center" class="container">
<div id='nested_container'>
<ul class='list'>

            <li class='item'>   
                    <div class='my_class_main'><img src="feimg/GetData.gif"/></div>   
                    <ul class="sublist">
                        <li class="subitem"><div class='my_class_sub'><a href="http://myserver/galaxy/tool_runner?tool_id=upload1" target="_parent"><img src="feimg/Upload.gif" width=250% height=300%/></a></div></li>
                        <li class="subitem"><div class='my_class_sub'><a href="http://myserver/galaxy/library/browse_libraries" target="_parent"><img src="feimg/Libraries.gif" width=250% height=300%/></a></div></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
  </div>

indicating two buttons one for the upload tool and one for the libraries. The libraries button work but when I click on the button for the upload tool the webpage just refreshes instead of opening the tool. This worked perfectly with the previous version of the upload tool and I was thinking how to get it back.

Thank you,
Makis
