Naming a URL

[Tosh McCaber]

How do you go about substituting a word like"here", (underlined) for a URL, when submitting a post to redirect readers to another page, rather than writing the full URL name?

Thanks,

On Pprune's "Reply To Thread" page, click on the little planet picture with a chain link and type in your required web address into the window that pops up. Click OK and then edit the highlighted text between the inner square brackets e.g. from

..../#login]the full web address[/U....
to
..../#login]Click Here![/U.....
Then
http://www.pprune.org/forums/#login
will become
Click Here!


Alternatively for a web page

We want to replace
www.pprune.org/forums/#login
with
Click Here To Login

use the following HTML code...
<a/href="http://www.pprune.org/forums/#login">Click Here To Log In<a/>

and to be extra cool, if you want it to open in a new window the the code looks like....
<a/href="http://www.pprune.org/forums/#login" target="new">Click Here To Log In<a/>
I think that's it...

Floppy,
May I ask if it is possible to do the same thing within an E-mail message via Outlook?


Thanks
Buster.
