Adding a link to your post.

To add a link to a post one need to use the anchor tag .

The use of the tag is more involved then that of the text manipulaters, .

The tag has a property called HREF and this needs to be set for the links to work.

Remove the spaces before the first and the following link is what you get.

The text in between the anchor tags can be what ever you want it to be. Some put the actual link so others 'know' where they are going. The HREF is the important part.

THANKS.

I'm testing my understanding which should link to the other coding post - read that (in the link below) first.

For your information

edit - missed the closing quotes. quite important.

I was asked to add this....

With the introduction of international LT domains, using relative links (i.e., ) is a courtesy that keeps all users on the LT version of their choosing.

In addition to creating a link that opens in the same browser window in use, mentioned above, you can also create a link that will open in a new window.

Sample Link:
Amazon.com

Code:
Put: target="_blank" as shown below, and when someone clicks on it, a new window opens.
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon</a>

Displaying code:

For use & gt ;
For " use & quot ;
For use & lt ; /a & gt ;

Remove spaces for everything after "use" and type everything after "use".

It now (well has been for a while) appears that you can paste a link with spaces either side and it will hyperlink straightaway.

like that for this thread - of course you can't do the target thing, the relative thing or the link text thing. But it may be easier for some users.
