How to Hyperlink?

[LAVA]

Hi all, I tried the code Afo gives above, but every link links back to my home page. Even the links for "top" link back to the home page. Does anyone know why this is happening?

TIA! Kelly

One more thing, all the titles are acting like links. You can't click on them, but they are blue and when you scroll over them, they highlight. If someone could help me get rid of that I'd be very grateful!

thanks again!

here's the link to the exact page where i'm trying to do this:

http://www.veganslovelava.ca/index.p...age=page&id=12

I think the code that afo originally supplied was wrong in that every anchor ends with the same closing tag.


<hI1><a name="I1"><b>Animal Friendly Stores</b></a></I1>


<hI9><a name="I9"><b>Miscellaneous Amazing Vegan Websites</b></a></I1>

I think that's why every listing is showing as a link.

I copied that from a page I did for another site and was so busy changing the info in it that I didn't realize that I'd copied the closing tag and didn't change it.

When I go to that page and hover over, for example, the Animal-Friendly Radio link near the top of the center column, I see this in my status bar at the bottom of the browser window...
http://www.veganslovelava.ca/#16

But the real address of the page I'm on, and therefore the address for the beginning of that link should be...
http://www.veganslovelava.ca/index.p...age=page&id=12

So your link could be, in theory...
http://www.veganslovelava.ca/index.p...=page&id=12#16

But when I copy and paste that into my browser's address bar I just get the top of the page again. It doesn't seem to work with that sort of URL structure. Maybe a dev will know how to make it work?

I suspect the "href" has to change. As I said earlier in this thread, I copied that from a page I did for an HTML site and haven't tried it in EZ-pages, so I'm not sure how to tweak it. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to play with it at the moment.

[LAVA]

ok, maybe someone else has an idea how to make the code work? i appreciate suggestions from anyone, i'm going to play with it tonight... if i miraculously figure it out on my own, i'll post it so that others can benefit. thanks afo in any case....

I don't know if this is the "right" fix, but I've fixed the link problem. I had to put the page address before the number sign:

<a href="http://www.veganslovelava.ca/index.php?main_page=page&id=12#I1">Animal Friendly Stores</a>

and also in front of every TP:

<a href="http://www.veganslovelava.ca/index.php?main_page=page&id=12#TP">top</a>

so now all the links work, but I still have no idea how to make the titles just normal text, as opposed to text that looks like it's a link but does not link to anywhere. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix that I would appreciate hearing it! Thanks!

Where are you using this on your site? I couldn't find the EZ-pages... but I really like the site! You did a great job.

Technically, those are links. The "href=" makes it a link even if the reference is to something on the same page.

It's under 'Visit Our Friends'.

You could wrap the titles each in a <div> (the same one for all would be OK), and style them in the stylesheet.
