HTML Help!

MacGyver

Well, you see, i'm trying to make myself a webpage, and am having a hard time with links. For some reason, this does not want to work, even though the link is right.

<a href="information.">
<img src="info.gif" align=left
</a>

When I click on the button, it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

(P.S. I took off the "html" from information, because it made it a link on here.

you're linking to www.short-media.com/forum/information.html

It kept making links, so i'll just say what I was doing.
I was using the <a href=" "> </a> tag, and it doesn't seem to want to work. Any ideas?

You can use the PHP code tags and show HTML.

You're doing relative links, but because you're posting on S-M, they're relative to here. If you want to show the code and link to the information.html page on your own site, you need to do:

<a href="http://www.mypagehere.com/information.html"><img src="http://www.mypagehere.com/info.gif" align="left" /></a>

Unfortunately, because VB parses any HTML in posts, you can't see it, unless you use HTML code for the brackets- that is &lt; and &gt; to represent < and >, respectively.

Thanks guys!
The links work now, but there's one problem.
Now the pictures that you click on (the links) have this blue boxed in square around them, that look really bad. How can I get rid of it?

Add a border="0"

<a href="http://www.mypagehere.com/information.html"><img src="http://www.mypagehere.com/info.gif" align="left" border="0" /></a>
