To
include a link to an external site or individual webpage in a Webboard
post, type the full URL (including the prefix "http://")
when you make your post. WebBoard will convert it for you and insert
a hyperlink which pops up as a new window.
For
example: http://trace.ntu.ac.uk
If
you want to insert a link manually, or when editing a post, then
you need to use the standard HTML tags. You can find the
full URL of a page in the Location Bar at the top
of your browser [this is the white area that says Address
before it and in which you can type]. The example below brings up
the webpage inside this window :
<a
href="http://trace.ntu.ac.uk">the trAce front page</a>
This
will appear as: the trAce front page.
To
link to a WebBoard post you need to insert an HTML hyperlink
tag around the word that you want to be the link. Here is an
example:
<a
href="read?32363,303">original question</a>
The
303 is the Conference number for *Sparks* and 32363 is the post
number.
You
can discover these numbers by following the instructions below:
- In
Netscape
Go to the target thread.
Right click on it.
Chose Copy Link Location.
Then paste link into an <a > tag.
- In
Explorer
Right click for pop-up menu. Choose "properties".
Copy and paste URL.
