    Dreamweaver question

    Hi guys, this is one for all those dreamwearver users.

    I am trying to add a couple of links websites on a page i am creating in dreamweaver and for the life of me i cant work out how to do it. I tried highlighting the URL and then left clicking and then make link, but what do i do to make it actually open the webpage? All i get when i test it is the page can not be displayed message.

    Ron added the ones that are on the link page but he doesnt use the normal view he uses the code view so doesnt know how to do it with normal view and i dont understand the code.

    Can someone please tell me how to do it. Matt

    I just had a look, if you enter the text, highlight it and add the URL to the link part of the properties toolbar that should do what you want.

    hold up, i think i have it, not sure if this is the same thing you said pheeny but this is what i did, in my language.

    Highlight websites URL that i want to link
    highlight the linked text in dreamweaver, right click and click edit tag, then type in <a href="domainname"> and it works.

    But obviously put the site to be linked website address instead of domain name. Matt

    Matt,

    There are 3 ways (at least) of making links in DW.

    1. highlight the text to be the link. Make sure PROPERTIES window is open (windows -> propereties). There is a space called links where you can type in the url, click on the folder icon to choose a file or using the target icon drag and point to a file in FILES window.

    2. Highlight the text to be the link. Right-click and select MAKE LINK. Choose a file or enter url.

    3. Enter <A> tag in the appropriate spot in the code manually.
