<A href="LINK HERE"> What the link should say</a>

Whoops, ignore me. I thought you were talking about just pure HTML *is a bit groggy in the mornings*

Well that was of some use, but no use if you know what I mean

[Ashaide]

I used to use Frontpage to make sites, but wanted to use something else that was more advanced... I can't get my head round it

xD

This one bugged me too when I first started dreamweaever way back when...

What I do is...

Make the text you want to lkink somewere...

Like "Click here"

HIghlight that, then on the bottem of the program there should be a lbl and text box saying LINK

Just pujt in where you want it to go in there

"http://www.balh.com"

Hmmm I am still stumped... It's not working for me for some reason

[ATHFBlink]

O.o Idk what to say then, that definetly works for me...

[Ashaide]

Can you do me a screenie please?

[ATHFBlink]

Not really, im on my laptop which doesnt have photoshop... I mean I could but it would be saved on paint which will be fooked up when I upload it and resize and all

[Ashaide]

Hmmm, well I have closed it now because I can't get anywhere with it....

Going to use frontpage now lol...that's what I know best

I got it sorted now

This is what I did, I highlighted the Words that I wanted to be the link and down in the preferences it says Link with abox next to it, in that box put the website address and it should work fine.

TOld her that she said it didnt wrk

Oh sorry Thursday didnt read your post, I should pay more attention next time. Umm...I dont know what to do than because that worked perfectly for myself. Never had problems with it.

I haven't used Dreamweaver in ages. If I remember correctly, you select the text you want to make a link and you set the link properties in the lower bottom left hand corner. It sould say "Link" or something like that.

[supatyson]

I said the same thing and so did Thursday, it didnt work, please read previous posts. I learnt my lesson didnt I thursday!

[mom3ntum]

lol, Oh crap. Sorry about that.

[Mumei]

in the version of dreamweaver I use the insert hyperlink button looks like 3 sections of a chain

you can access it thru the common tab of the objects - or from the menu

Insert>Hyperlink

from either you just type the text you want
then the link to the website *(remember if it's an external link you NEED to put http:\\ at the start)
and the target can either be _self if you want to go there, or _blank if you want it to make a new window)
Title is what you would see if you leave your mouse over it

[Ashaide]

Thanks Mumei I kinda put the site on hold now. had a migraine for the last two days that wont budge.

I will try that later thank you

Hey guys, i think i know your problem. Do what they said but click on the yellow box next to it and then go ok. Worked for me.

[Noitidart]
