[SOLVED] free html links issue [5.1.2 stable]

1 Oct 13, 2014 08:21    

I have links in a list in some free html in the sidebar. The links are thus like this:

<l i><a href="[edited url]">HOME</a></l i>

However, clicking on that link, the browser wants to take me to

[edited url]

What is happening here? In this case, I have blog base URL set to

relative to base url: [edited url]

Note: the URLs were edited because they pointed to a 404 error page, and also they were not relevant to the answer.

Hi @tgodfrey,

When you add an HTML a tag, its href parameter must include the protocol (usually http:// or https://). Otherwise, it will be interpreted by the browser as a link to a resource under the same domain.

Example: <a href="http://example.com">Example</a>

Regards!

Gee, it might be time that I thought about doing something else.

I looked at those links and thought that hmmm, there is something odd there. Looked some more, couldn't see that for looking. As Homer Simpson might say: Doh.

And it isn't even late at night.

Thank you for pointing out my error. And for being so polite in doing so.

Never mind. Just another error I couldn't see.
