Hi

Having just moved from version 6 to 7 all seems to have gone ok except for the extended information - link text. On version 6 we were able to modify each link seperately as per - <U><font size = -2>More Info</U></font> (enhancing the individual text to bold etc) but on version 7 the actual coding is also displayed against the product.

I assumed that this is something to do with the style sheets but I am not sure, if I cannot use the old code can you point me in the right direction of the code and template I need to modify.

Many thanks
Brian

I found on upgrading that all my Extended Info page links such as
"More details &raquo;" suddenly were printed literally.

I still haven't nailed them all.

Now I use "More details >" and that is OK but just one of many surprises on upgrading. This is edited in the Extended Text field directly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave

I would really like to have the flexibility of font size and colour on these ext info link texts, but I note your compromise , perhaps someone from actinic (Chris) could comment

Thanks again

Hmmm... I see what you mean.

Do all your links look the same? You can edit the default link text formatting for the entire site by going to 'Design | Text | Web Site | HTML' and looking where it says:

<A HREF="%s">

and

</A>

Lines 13 and 14

Change these to read:

<A HREF="%s"><u><font size = "-2">

and

</font></u></A>

Sorry for the delay in responding Chris but I have tried your suggestion but still did not work.

I an trying to have a link from within the Full Description box of a product and the cose i am using is -

Page <A HREF ="http://www.chancellorforms.co.uk/acatalog/Subject_specific_Starter_Packs.html"> 1</A>

The problem is when you view it you see all the code and there is no link, this worked fine on version 6.

Any further idea's

If you are putting this code in the full description then you must use embedded HTML marks (!!< and >!!) either side of your HTML expression. e.g.

Page !!<<A HREF ="http://www.chancellorforms.co.uk/acatalog/Subject_specific_Starter_Packs.html"> 1</A>>!!
