Just starting to explore using Website Fonts. I was thinking of using it for my horizontal menu that has links to various pages, like:
coats.....dresses......about us....customer service.

In order to make each one a link, do I have to create each word separately and put each in it's own html box?

That could be very difficult to align.

Of course, once I got it set, I can copy/paste to each page...

Am I correct in how I think it has to work? Thank you! windy

Hi Windy,
That's not really nessesary. I just tried it using this code:
<center><h4>
<a href="index.html">Home</a> |
<a href="Page1.html">Link 1</a> |
<a href="Page2.html">Link 2</a> |
<a href="Page3.html">Link 3</a> |
<a href="Page4.html">Link 4</a> |
<a href="Page5.html">Link 5</a> |
</h4></center>

and it seemed to work fine, I did use the html tool and placed the the website font code in the header under the edit>edit header part of VSD

Thanks, Bruzer. That brings me to two more questions:

How can I make more space between the words since html only acknowledges one space and you're not supposed to hide text by making it the color of your background? I don't think I've run into code for em spaces :)

And, how do I make the link? Do I have to hand code it in the html box, or can I use VSD's linking tool? Looks like I'll have to hand code. Not a big deal, but curious.

Thanks! windy

Windy,

You can use the 'non break space', in html it's '&nbsp;' (without the hyphens)

Or, since you are using VSD, you can make a new text box and place it further away.

VSD's linking tool works fine. Make sure you have the latest version of VSD, there was a new version issued yesterday. Ha en riktig god dag!

Thanks, Inger-- can you clarify a bit?

Ok, so are you saying I can put '&nbsp;' between my words?
Like ....coats '&nbsp; &nbsp;' dresses '&nbsp; &nbsp;' tops.... Is that it?

I'm not sure what you mean by make a new text box further away. Do you mean a new html box for each word? With website fonts I think everything has to be in an html box. Right?

And, I can't see a way to use the link tool if my text is in an html box, besides hand coding. (I link regular text & objects a lot)

Last, maybe I'm not using website fonts like I could be. Is there a way to use a text box, or to see what I'm doing when I use a website font? I really hate not being able to see what I'm doing--nudge, upload, nudge, upload. It's just not efficient :)

thanks.... windy
