Question

Using FrontPage 2003, I am trying to make a link on one of my pages to my email address
I entered my address, clicked ok and the link was there
the problem is that it wasn't a link, I can't click on it, so I had to start over
I tried it again and it was the same.....
help...

Answer 1

In html a link is created by the anchor tag. What's inside that tag is what you see as the link.

ie. Click on me

The behavior of that link, sans javascript, is created by the href property. The typical way of handling an email address is to use the mailto: protocol, which by convention, causes the browser to invoke the local email client, with the To: address being set to the email address specified. So you might want to try this:

Email Me

There's no doubt a way to do this in frontpage, but I don't use that or any other html generation software. I find it's better to write my own html.

In frontpage you switch to the "Code view" and you can edit or enter html directly.

If you want to do it the frontpage way, you can highlight the text you want to make into a link and click on the link button at the top. Then type in the email address for the hyperlink.

Answer 2

just create a link and use your email address as the destination.
