To put a hotlink into this forum you need a slightly different method from that used in "normal" fora. This one will accept standard HTML tags embedded in any message which most do not. The HTML tag for a link is "a" (for anchor) and at a minimum it needs an URL and some descriptive text. In the following example I have added some underscores so that your browser won't interpret the code as HTML.

Here's an URL:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterflies


and here's the HTML code which will turn it into a link:

<_a_ href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterflies"_>_This link will take you to the Wikipedia Butterfly home page<_/_a_>


So, taking out all underscores from above we get a clickable link like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterflies">This link will take you to the Wikipedia Butterfly home page

I hope that all works or I will look very silly.

Thanks John from A - and thats me up till 4am trying to make it work! See you in a week xxx!

anniec,

Just use this thread until you get it to work. That way it keeps it all in one place.

Just to let you know that I am practicing on emails to myself before trying on the site (or I will end up sending as many posts as Dawn!!!??) Always great to have Big Dave showing even more ways in which I can fail - but I wil keep on trying! lol (and to Big Dave and Mamya too)
