Website Fonts using VSD: How do you turn text into links? Can't

Can't seem to find any posts or videos on adding links to the website fonts I'm using.

If I'm using website fonts with VSD to make a horizontal menu, do I need to make each word separately? Or, can I put all the text along with link code in the html box?

And, by the way, if anyone can tell me how to make the short vertical bars I see separating menu words...I'd love to know. Is there a key or key stroke?

thanks,
windy windy

you'll have to use the html tool for the links, sorry I didn't answer that earlier, and to make the vertical bar to seperate the links hold down shift and click the highlighted key .... "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Hi thanks, again, Bruzer.

But can you clarify on the links issue? I just don't know how to do it.
Do you mean hand code each word separately in it's own html box? And do you know the code?

So, lets say I have in the body of one html box, the words:

<h6>coats | dresses | tops</h6>

Can you tell me how I would make each word link to a different page?

Sorry, I'm new at this. BUT I can not believe I didn't know about the vertical bar!!! Thanks. It's been bugging me for months! It looks like vertical dashes on the key, so I never thought it would come out as a solid bar :)

I appreciate your help!

ok with coats being the page, using the html tool -you'd put in
<a href="coats.html"><h1>Coats</h1></a>add space here |
then the same for the next link and so on. "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Hey, I almost have it! Thanks!
All my links are working except for my homepage. I used index.html. Can you take a look and see what's wrong? Nothing happens when I click on home.

<h6><a href="index.html">home</a>|
<a href="okcollection.html">outerwear</a> |
<a href="dresses.html">desses</a> |
<a href="dresses.html">tops</a> |
<a href="OKCustomerService.html">customer service</a> |
<a href="stores.html">stores</a> |
<a href="OgieNews.html">news</a> </h6>

Thanks

One more problem!

Would you have any idea why my website font does not appear where I place it on the page?
For example, I put it in the top right corner, save the page, upload, and it appears several inches below. Horizontally, it places well. But vertically, it is not. Why can't I get it to stay on the top right corner?

BTW, this is a brand new test site, so I have no setting whatsoever.
thanks

Hi Windy,
I'm not really sure I haven't really got into the coding part, so I'll take a guess if you don't mind. look for the all.css and see if you see where it says text-align
does it say center or left?

If centered change it to left see what you get. :| "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Hi,
Ok, I checked and it does seem to say left alignment.

However, I have opened a support ticket and zipped my files over to CC...hopefully, they'll be able to tell. This happened to me once before when I tried to build a simple 2-page CC site on a pc with Vista. I never pursued the issue, so I don't know why things would not align. Strange that twice a two-pager messes up, yet my very first website is long, complex, and works perfectly.

Thanks for your input! windy

Good Windy,
I really don't know why your having that problem, my test page came out ok.
would you have a link I can look at your test site? "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Cesar in tech support figured it out!
It had to do with browsers automatically adding space above and below, and the h6 tag automatically adding a break before and after, and something to do with the how the x & y coordinately of VSD are configured....well, close to that, anyway.

So, in my html coding, I just had to add code to set margin & padding to 0.

Easy fix (once figured out); complicated explanation.

Thanks for your help!
