No problem, Glenda, glad to help out. Your problem was that you entered your active link as follows:
<:www.nb.net/~alanb/index.htm>That form is not syntactically complete for an active link. You should have entered:
<a href="www.nb.net/~alanb/index.htm">your underlined text</a>or if you wanted to provide a new window for the convenience of the user, you could have used:
<a target="_new" href="www.nb.net/~alanb/index.htm">your underlined text</a>Joe Offer has collected a lot of good HTML technical advice in a PermaThread. You might find it helpful.
