I'm sorry but I'm going to need a translation for that question first. Is there a word missing or something because I don't know what "a won me page" is. I can't believe you meant "a w on my page" since you can already type letters on your page. smiley - erm

click here is correct, but, as it pops up a new window, it might not work if you're using a digibox.

Instead, you could use click here, which won't open a new window. smiley - ok

I had a look at your page after I got the previous message, so I finally realised what you were talking about. smiley - biggrin

What you have at the moment is:

you canclick hereto see who's online.

This generates essentially the same code as the link on the left of the screen (in brunel skin). However in both cases it asks for a popup window. If you are using a digibox you can't have popup windows. You can try this link <./>online</.> in plain text which in GuideML would be:

click here

but you then need to click on one of the names to get back to the rest of h2g2. Note that you should put space between the rest of your text and this link on either side or it looks odd.

Well done. smiley - biggrin

If you want to get really adventurous you can put a link behind a blob image so that you click on the image to go to the page. There's a rather appropriate one of someone attached to their computer online by a drip feed. smiley - bigeyes You can also add a title explaining what the link is for though.

That will show a picture of the drip-feed computer person as the link to the online page. See how it is just like the previous version of the link but with a picture instead of text. The ALT text is just for people to hover over or the visually impaired with special equipment. You don't have to have it. If you get on OK with that you can try adding a caption into the PICTURE tag by using the opening and closing form instead of the self-closing one.

Is someone still doing that GuideML-tutorial-project-thing? If so we should tell them about these threads, there are a lot of very good lessons in here, usually this kind of stuff is spread out, but the whole GML spec is explained in 2 or 3 threads here...
