    Default Can you help me please

    Hi,

    Can any one help me please I am having great problems with Ezpages I have read about them but are still having problems understanding about them.

    I have created a page which I am get in my header

    The problem I am having is, I want to create a link to a pdf file I have uploaded to Images in my root, I want this file to open so the customer can read or print it or download it. I have done a small write up in ezpages. I then state click on the following link, which is my .pdf file, I have created loads of what I think is the right link in the htlm page of ezpages but when I click on my header the page opens O.K. but when I click on the highlighted file that is myfile.pdf I go strait back to my main page. I just can not for the life of me fathom out what internal url I should be entering into the editor when I click on add a link.

    Please Please help, I am sorry if this has already been asked but I can not find it my eyes are going silly with keep reading.

    Links inside text just need to follow basic HTML code rules.

    <a href="PATH_TO_RESOURCE">My PDF</a>

    In your case, as the RESOURCE is a PDF file in the main images folder, your PATH should look something like this...

    <a href="/images/your-pdf-filename.pdf">My PDF</a>

    The PATH in this example is RELATIVE, because the link is internal - it is pointing to a directory (images) on your server.

    However, if this does not activate the file (or give the viewer a file-save popup) you could try an ABSOLUTE PATH:

    <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/your-pdf-filename.pdf">My PDF</a>

    If you are being taken to another page when the link is clicked, then the PATH is faulty...
