“New topic” button not working

I’m using v2.4.0 - Build: date 20120123

I’m using the Shares template, and the “New topic” button is not working properly. It is linked to ‘#’, which I’m assuming is supposed be replaced by some javascript on click.

Here’s the code on the Topics.html template where this problem is taking place.

{if can_post}
<td class="button150"><a href="#" title="{lang:post_new_topic}">img src="{path:image_url}bt_new_topic.gif" border='0' width='151' height='26' alt="{lang:post_new_topic}"/></a></td>
{/if} 

Is that the correct code?

I’ve also looked at my .htaccess as I’ve researched this problem, and here’s the code for that:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        # Removes index.php
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

        # If 404s, "No Input File" or every URL returns the same thing
        # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
        
</IfModule> 

I’m not sure what to do next.

For some reason, when I paste the code for the Topics.html template, it strips out the on click part, right after the title tag. So I’ll add a space to the on click part and see if it pastes the whole thing. Ignore the extra space.

{if can_post}
<td class="button150"><a href="#" title="{lang:post_new_topic}" click="navJump('{path:new_topic}')"><img src="{path:image_url}bt_new_topic.gif" border='0' width='151' height='26' alt="{lang:post_new_topic}"/></a></td>
{/if}
