1182. Dusty - 2/9/2000 11:32:25 PM Holy cow, more action in here than we've seen in a long, time, and I missed it.
1183. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:41:13 AM If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.
So, what I am trying to link is:
The Mote 1184. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:42:58 AM Well, now look at that. Not the same as my first disaster over in Technical, but a disaster nevertheless.
Any suggestions?
(um, please - refrain from the obvious ones as to telling me where I should go....) 1185. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:43:32 AM Very good!
The only thing wrong with your Times post was that you left off the other quote after target="new
This creates much weirdness--far out of proportion to the type of mistake. It's actually better to leave off both quotes than just one. 1186. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:44:04 AM WHy is that one a disaster? Unless you weren't trying to link in the Mote? 1187. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:49:52 AM No, I was trying to link in the NY times article. What I did was type in the The Mote
Arrggh. All my residual insecurities about my technical deficiencies have arisen yet again! 1188. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:51:30 AM wait a minute. Forgive me for creating all of this, but I didn't type in all the stuff you are supposed to that time. How did it nevertheless link to The Mote? 1189. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:54:31 AM Let me go at it this way.
Just where does the http etc. for the (in this case) article I was trying to link go? Does it replace the stuff from 207 through asp" or does it replace the words The Mote?
I hope that is clear, but it probably isn't. 1190. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:56:31 AM Persevere, JanJon. I shall see you through this.
Your original link was missing a quote after new.
<a href="http://www.nyt.com/library/politics/camp/021000wh-clinton.html" target="new>
But the followup had the opposite problem--one too many quotes.
<a href=""http://www.nyt.com/library/politics/camp/021000wh-clinton.html" target="new">
Note the double quotes before http. Not good. Take one out.
You also want to change the text so it doesn't say "The Mote" 1191. janjon - 2/10/2000 3:02:55 AM Well, even if I screw this one up, let me thank you in advance, Cal Gal.
Here goes nothing:
Hope EveryBody Likes Political Ads, Because 1192. janjon - 2/10/2000 3:04:22 AM Yippee!!!
Now, where is that 109109. I have a few things to say to him about all those long (um, tedious in some cases) articles he regurgitates.
Thanks again, CalGal! 1193. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:38:53 AM
Let's see how this looks....
1194. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:41:11 AM
the label didn't show up... 1195. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:42:09 AM 1196. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:42:41 AM ooppss.. 1197. sakonige - 2/11/2000 12:07:08 PM
Do you recognize this Roman woman? I found her portrait with Ovid's poetry. 1198. sakonige - 2/11/2000 12:10:02 PM
Have you heard of Metamorphoses? 1199. bubbaette - 2/13/2000 3:33:32 AM hmmm...
Testing 1200. bubbaette - 2/13/2000 3:35:02 AM My *first* link. Cal Gal would be so proud of me! 1201. CalGal - 2/13/2000 3:44:14 AM Well, I'd have been prouder if you used HTML and said:
"My first link."
But I am much impressed anyway. Good for you!
