Hyperlinking Text

[Tygra]

Hi everyone, today I tried hyperlinking some text, but when I published the page with the text on, the hand which appears when you go over the link did not, and does not appear.

Perhaps you didn't link it correctly ....

Highlight the entire text and be sure to include http:// in front of the url that you are linking to ...

Just try again, I am sure you will get it ...

Re: Hyperlinking Text

No LadyEye, the hand is still not showing and I typed the link in correctly. I typed in the link...... "http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/page2.html".

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Hi Tygra

All I seem to get when clicking that link is the directory to your files you have uploaded.

Have you actually, named, saved and published a page as index

all small letter, no spaces, only as index

??

And from what page were you having the trouble with linking ....

If you publish your index page and then provide the name of the page that you were having trouble with the linking we could check into this for you ...

:)

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Here you go LadyEye.

http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/interspeciesconflictvideos.html

It is the text at the bottom, where it says "for more movies click here" and yes I have done everything right.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

It appears to me by viewing the source code that the link did not take ... as the http etc. is not showing up on your code for that page ....

I would suggest doing it again.

Highlighting the entire text that you want to link ... going up to your toolbar to insert, insert link, (be certain the box is http) and type in the url of the page you are linking to ....http://www.yourdomainname.com/pagetolink.html

Re: Hyperlinking Text

No LadyEye, the hand is still not appearing when I put it over the text.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Tygra, You need to tell us how you are putting the link in - step by step - because it appears that you aren't understanding the directions LadyEye is giving you. Give us what you did - and we'll be able to tell you how to fix it.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Ok Bethers/ladyeye, I wrote the text and double clicked on so the hyperlink icon would show up. The hyperlink box then appeared, and I typed in the URL bar http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/page2.html

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Hi Tygra ... so sorry you are having such troubles happening here ...

but I notice a few things ...

Your domain url is http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com

I notice when you click on that page, we are seeing only your index files.

You need to republish your index page again, this being your main page or the landing page -
the index page is not showing up .. so that is one problem you need to correct ....

You are trying to link to this page http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/page2.html

from this page http://www.interspeciesconflictvideo...ictvideos.html

So if you have highlighted the text and inserted the manner in which you described, you have done things correctly, but perhaps you just may not have republished the page, to your public_html directory, because the link is not showing up as you have described, not even in the source code on the page ... try just linking the words click here instead of the entire sentence and republish the page and see what happens.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Thanks for all your help LadyEye, when you say the index page, do you mean the very first page that you would create?

I tried republishing with what you said "click here", but still the hand does not show up when you go over the link.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

I asked for every step you take - so if you gave me every step, I've found the problem.

Highlight the text
Click on the Navigation Icon
Put in the url for that text
Go down and click on OK

If you haven't been clicking on ok, and have been closing the window with the x, you lose what you did every time.
