Kain Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 How do I use HTML to insert a link? Which "tag" do I use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Kain... When you make a new post, there should be a button labeled "Rich Text" under the other two buttons. If you click on it, it imbeds a nice toolbar. On that toolbar is a hyperlink button. It works in one of two ways. You can click it and it will bring up a dialog for you to type your url into. However, it will just show the URL as in ( www.klipsch.com ) BUT, if you want to have a like with a descriptive URL as in Klipsch type in a word, highlight that word, then click on the hyperlink button. As a matter of fact, if you highlight any word then then click on the formatting it will perform that action on that word. Got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Use the "anchor" tag - the letter a. Looks like this: This Text Will Be Underlined and when implemented looks like this: the Klipsch homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Ya, what Ray said. By the way, this topic would have better posted in the web are or even general questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 KAiN64, Take a look at the section of text in my post a bit back up the page. The full syntax is: This Text Will Be Underlined Where: opens the anchor tag href='http://www.abc.com'> is the fully qualified domain name of the thing you want to link to > ends the first part of the anchor tag The text between the opening and closing tags will be underlined and when you click on it, you are redirected to the fully qualified domain name in the first part of the anchor tag closes the anchor tag In your test post, you just had and with no domain specified within the first part of the anchor. The text *BETWEEN* the anchor tags (the stuff that gets underlined) is for information only - it doesn't do anything. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
