web.design.courses - External sites

Hi Ceilidh,

Just ensure you put the full URL in as your HREF parameter.

Eg. linking to www.example.com will not work, because browser software will assume this is a file or folder on your server.

You need to ensure there is http:// at the front of the external URL (or https:// or ftp:// or whatever the actual url is).

So linking to http://www.example.com will work, because it's got the protocol at the front (the http:// bit)

Experiment and see the differences.

Regards, Rich
