Link from product description page

Hi
Can someone please inform me how I can put words in my product description, such as "For comparison chart, click here" so when clicked it opens a window with additional information/chart, etc.
Like an EZ Page but having the link within the product text. Thanks

Re: Link from product description page

When you add your product description (probably using HTMLArea), you can add a standard HYPERLINK into the HTML of that text.

In HTMLArea, you will see a menu icon that looks like this: <>

That is the TOGGLE between WYSIWYG and HTML CODE views.

In the HTML CODE view, you can add the standard <A HREF> code to form a hyperlink.

EG:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourwebsitelink.com">Click here for more info</a>

Re: Link from product description page

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I can see now!!! One othere question, where would the best place be the store a chart (such as a comparison chart) so that it opens a window without any other information other than what is in the chart, i.e. not just a space in the centre of the cart with all other info as with ez page??
Thanks

Re: Link from product description page

You can store the page anywhere you like... but it is perhaps a good idea to create a separate directory for it in your root folder. Call that directory infopages or something similar. Then, create a HTML page called sizechart.html and store it in that directory.

Your hyperlink URL to open that page in a new window will then be:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/infopages/sizechart.html">See the Size Chart here</a>.

You can also use javascript to open the window at a specific size and without scrollbars.
