I am using the HTML free editor I created a "homepage" and uploaded it to my website. Good so far. When i try to add a link from the homepage located on ard-sales-web.biz to ard-sales-web.net, where my shopping cart is located--nothing happens. When i added -blank to try for a new page opening, it comes up with a blank page. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

Try _blank instead of -blank

Phillip,
My mistake--I did use _blank, not -blank.

Alonzo,

Is this your link code:
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/ccdata/data/data.php" target="_blank">TO SHOP</a></li>

Try removing the "/ccdata/data/data.php" part and it will work.

Why do you have a closing </li> tag on the end of this?

There are lots of problems with the link code you have. You can either use this code:
<h2>Navigation Here</h2>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">test</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a><br />
<a href="mailto:admin@ard-sales-web.net" style="color:#ff0000">EMAIL US</a>
</h3>



Or this code:
<h2>Navigation Here</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">test</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">SHOP</a></li>
<li><a href="mailto:admin@ard-sales-web.net" style="color:#ff0000">EMAIL US</a></li>
</ul>

And for your footer links:
<div id="footer">
<h3 style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.ard-sales-web.net/" style="color:#ff0000">TO SHOP</a></h3>
<h6 style="text-align:center"><a href="#">Copyright 2009 by ARD Sales</a></h6><!-- you need this link to actually point at something -->
</div>

If your code doesn't work the way you think it should, check it for errors here:

Thank you all. I haven't looked at the difference between what i was trying and you suggestions. I simply pasted yours in and the worked perfectly--first time. By the way, the tag </li> was just one I somehow missed while erasing. Thank you again. I started out without knowing anything at all about HTLM or any of the rest of this stuff. Thanks to the people on this forum, I now know a bit more.
