website + links

[ducasi]

Assuming you're talking about the links page...

You've not added them as links. You've just put the addresses in as text - you need to go back to DW and use it to turn 'em into links (I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact procedure in DW, as I don't use it)

In Dreamweaver, you select the text and type the link into the 'Link' field on the "properties" window. That turns it into a link.

It has been interesting reading all your posts even if they don't make sense to me

Hmm, I think that's poor practice personally - if you look back at the top 10 Web design mistakes of all time, "opening a link as a new page" is there ...

I think there might be a reason why its called "Windows" rather than "New screens".

The name 'Windows' represents the way the system gives you multiple inspirational viewpoints ono the respective beauties of your work, the world outside (the web) and your personal life, lightening your soul with the radiance of each, and expanding your worldview to bring you to the ultimate goal of personal and universal enlightenment. In the context of such extraordinary vision and life-changing potential, surely we should be expanding our vision to encompass the glories of the new and the old together, rather than denying our pasts and lessening our state of universal consciousness?

I'll have some of what you're taking.

I like having a choice – if I want the link to open in a new window, I can hold down a key and click my middle mouse button.

Likewise, middle mouse button opens a new tab with the link in in Firefox. Actually the 2.0 behaviour is to open any _blank or _new targets as a new tab as well. Which is nice. The thing I really hate is javascript links that don't open anything when you do this (because they use some javascript popup function or something ).

WOW !! I did it.

Cool. Just as a side point you've got the hyperlink text as the displayed text. You can put anything you like in that like I can say this is a link to my blog. In the same way you could do something like

<a href="http://www.cerocscotland.com/">Ceroc Scotland's Website</a>

which would look something like Ceroc Scotland's Website.

Of course with the advent of tabbed browing a la Firefox the new/same window debate is less important although I prefer the keep everything in same window practice.

Re the original question (which seems fixed) you can also make links change colour when you hover over them or change colour once you have clicked them once (although I don't like that myself). Not sure how you do this in Dreamweaver (I tend to code in html direct but only do simplish stuff) but its worth considering for the design of your website.
