External sites

How do I link to an external website by browsing?

RE: external sites

Hi Ceilidh,

Just ensure you put the full URL in as your HREF parameter.

Eg. linking to www.example.com will not work, because browser software will assume this is a file or folder on your server.

You need to ensure there is http:// at the front of the external URL (or https:// or ftp:// or whatever the actual url is).

So linking to http://www.example.com will work, because it's got the protocol at the front (the http:// bit)

Experiment and see the differences.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
