Re: Hyperlinks

Hi David:

Thanks for the quick response and feedback on my site. Just like every other
web surfer, my family members have short attentions spans so I've gotta grab
their attention :-)

I've encountered a problem with trying to link my pictures to a new window.
Using the link posted above I understand the code:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD01_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="C:\Documents and Settings\snipes_d\Desktop\MS
Publisher\Pictures\Daddy\BD_01.jpg"/></a>

Simple enough, the link points to a webpage and the IMG points to an image
on my C: drive that serves as the place holder for the hyperlink. However,
looking over David's fragment I came up with this:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="http://snipesfamily.net/index_files/image9471.jpg"/></a>

Again, the link is pointing to the same webpage (e.g. larger picture), and
the image to be shown on the webpage is sourced from a file on my website. I
hope this is clear thus far...

The problem I've run into is that when I publish my site, Pub renames all of
my files so I can't add the specific address (e.g. .../index_files/R_D01) to
my fragment. because the name changes to something like - image1234. I've
tried publishing, grabing the file name, adding to frag address, and then
republishing but Pub reassigns it another name - d'Oh!

The long and the short: how do I point to a specific image that serves as a
place holder for a link when I don't know what the name will be since the
name is changed when I publish (obstensively changing the web address name)?
I'm haunted from past posters describing how their links point to their C:
drive and not the website and I don't want to follow suit...

Thanks again!

Dave

Thanks, Dave the 'puter guy! Sometimes I just don't have enough time to
answer in detail, and David Bartosik's material usually leads to either an
answer, or a better asked question. And then there are sometimes, I just
don't know how to help people, especially with uploading issues. That is
really hard to troubleshoot without sitting in front of a computer. Anyway,
thanks...and good work on your site...creative and entertaining.

Thanks David! This was exceedingly helpful! Usually your links point to a
generic webpage (e.g. /30 or /33) and I usually find myself going in
circles
to find the answer; and sometimes I don't. This particular link was direct
and with a little troubleshooting, I was able to solve my issue in less
than
5 minutes.

I've posted a couple questions now and between the two David's responses
and
reading other posts, I've been able to set up a nice webpage:

http://www.snipesfamily.net

I'm still working on layout (e.g. picture size, links, navigation, etc.)
but
it's coming along well.

Thanks again!

Dave

I have created hyperlinks and when I click on the link it takes you to
that
page and takes the viewer away from the website. However, I would
rather
the link open up a new window so that a person will still have my
website
open.
