A little HTML code for you

Bill,

The message box you type in here accepts standard HTML and stores it in the Asylum database, so that when the post is retrieved, the HTML you wrote is blended in with HTML the Asylum generates.

As you know, you can put a single link in the text box at the bottom and optionally configure a title to be used. If you don't add the title, the default is to use the text of the URL as the title.

To put your own link in the message, the syntax is:

<A HREF="a fully qualified URL starting with http://">title</A>

1. Upper case is not required.
2. The tag "A" can be any letter as long as the closing tag matches.
3. Don't add any extra spaces around HREF="some URL", or the angle brackets and the characters inside.
4. Make sure the URL is enclosed in double quotes.
6. Don't forget the closing tag - the </A>

So to have something like the following:

Cleaning and Preservation of Cylinders and Discs

type in

<A HREF="http://home.earthlink.net/~gnordenstam/RecordCollection/Cleaning.htm">Cleaning and Preservation of Cylinders and Discs </A>

Regards,
Geoff
