You will have noticed that I have posted a lot today, that's because I started this at 7am (GMT), and is not 1800GMT, and I am still unable to do what I want. This website needs to be finished ASAP, I am very overdue with it.

I have created a page that I like, I made mouseovers to change the link colour, following instructions I found on these pages. I then made links to all the other pages. I then duplicated this page to create all the others. The links didn't work. I then went through all the 10 pages and recreated the links, and published. It still doesn't link to each page. What on earth am I doing wrong? I am only linking to pages in the site, nothing external at all, please help, somebody? Site is www.flintanddenbighrc.com. Sorry to sound to desperate, but I am. :)

What I see is this Janet, they all link to the index page except whatson.
so what I would do at this point is on your homepage link the text I'm sure you know how but i'm gonna say it anyway) double click them til a red border is around them, then highlight the text and select which page that link goes to, then I would copy the menu from homepage to each page then it should work, no need to copy the whole page. hope I explained it right.

OK, going to do that now, I had no idea I could just copy the text? Another thing, why does the text look so ragged when published?

yes you can copy and paste the text, of course you may want to try to delete all but the homepage text links first, may be best. please let us know how it goes

Hi, I did that, and it didn't work. I'm beginning to think I've done something fundamentally wrong somewhere. In the link box, I have use link ticked, and I have tried using the top box, where the link just uses the page name, and I have tried using the url box. I don't know what else to do!

highlight one at a time Janethttp://www.kellyinfo.com/web/linkprop.jpg then use the drop down to pick your page that the text would link to. when your done select all the links and copy them to the other pages.
In your other post you mention that your pages (html files) aren't there or were you asking if they should be, well all your pages should be in your website folder, and there should be a folder called files there also which holds all your images. http://www.kellyinfo.com/MyFiles/tutorials/linkX.html
you should be able to do it this way. but first remove the links from the other pages in VSD, then set the links on the homepage and save it, then copy and paste the links into the other pages as mentioned and go to settings and select resync to upload. If your still not able to understand what I mean Janet, the only thing I can do to help (if nobody else has a better idea) is have you upload your site to my server, so I can show you how to fix it in a tutorial, I will have to send you my info for the ftp settings, if you wish to try this then let me know.

Hi, thank you so much for being so patient with me.

My pages are named

Page1 = News
Page2 = Showjumping
Page3 = Dressage
Page4 = Hunter Trials
Page5 = Payments
Page6 = Membership
Page7 = Classified
Page8 = Members Page
Page9 = Help Days
Page10 = Payments Success Page
Page11 = Entry Form
Page12 = What's On

The 'Page*' being the name of the page (too scared to name them anything else but what it said in the manual!).

I have checked all the links on the homepage, they are all correct, all links are on the mouseover image (not the original image), and they all have the right numbers. However, I have done lots of work on this today (again), and the links still don't work. I have no idea what to do now. I now have my form uploaded and the fixtures list, but no way of the user getting to them!

I've attached a screenshot to show what I am doing. Interestingly, there were two that I had forgotten to link to the correct page, one of those being dressage, they were linked to MySite, but they worked.

I really need your help again!

Many thanks
Janet

Hi Janet,

After you put a check mark on the use link box, I think you might be forgetting to click on the radio button next to the link to page option. I think it defaults to the bottom radio button if you don't choose one yourself....so you need to make sure to check the use link box and click the first radio button as you choose a page to link to. Hope this helps.

Manually edit the html links if possible.
Examples below. Use your page numbers if you desire. No spaces.
This may get you going again. If you use your page titles, rename your pages to match the <a href="..............html"

<div class="Object436"><a href="index.html" onMouseOver='img_mo0.src="files/mo_IMG_3.jpg"' onMouseOut='img_mo0.src="files/IMG_3.jpg"'><img style="border:none;" src="files/IMG_3.jpg" name="img_mo0" alt="" width=40 height=10></a></div>

<div class="Object437"><a href="news.html" onMouseOver='img_mo1.src="files/mo_IMG_5.jpg"' onMouseOut='img_mo1.src="files/IMG_5.jpg"'><img style="border:none;" src="files/IMG_5.jpg" name="img_mo1" alt="" width=74 height=10></a></div>

<div class="Object438"><a href="show_jumping.html" onMouseOver='img_mo2.src="files/mo_IMG_7.jpg"' onMouseOut='img_mo2.src="files/IMG_7.jpg"'><img style="border:none;" src="files/IMG_7.jpg" name="img_mo2" alt="" width=40 height=10></a></div>

<div class="Object439"><a href="dressage.html" onMouseOver='img_mo3.src="files/mo_IMG_9.jpg"' onMouseOut='img_mo3.src="files/IMG_9.jpg"'><img style="border:none;" src="files/IMG_9.jpg" name="img_mo3" alt="" width=98 height=10></a></div>
