creating web links within text

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Wonder if you can help.

 

I am wanting to input some new products into my store but in the description text I want to create some ablity for user to put pointer over web address I.e. www,insect-repel.com and have ability to click and link to the website.

 

Am a bit of a novice and have iuused some of the standard coding such as <li> , <b>, <font size =2>, etc, etc.

 

(a list of any others would be much appreciated such as different fonts, etc, etc)

 

Is there a prefix needed to create these weblinks??

 

 

Hope someone can help and offer any other advice/code over and above.

 

Regards,

 

Andy

I am not sure if this is the osCommerce way, but it works for me.

<a href="http://www.myknifestore.com/ca158.html" target="0"><img border="0" src="http://myknifestore.com/thumbs/caselock2.JPG" alt="Case XX"></a>

 

The above is for a picture link. First you see the page you are being taken to, then target=0 means open in a new window. Then you see the image source and the alt code for ther image.

 

Here is a plain text link

<a href="http://myknifestore.com">Home</a>

 

You see the page you are going to and then the text that is displayed on your current page.
