a question about hyperlinks...?

Question

I have created a website with word and have various links on it but only some of them show a hand sign when i put the cursor over them. The ones that have the hand sign are the ones I created on the site a few years ago and the new ones that I put in a few days ago just show an arrow. It´s driving me crazy as I just don´t know what I need to do to change the new ones so they show the hand sign. Any ideas. Many Thanks

Answer 1

To answer lexii

This is an example of a hyperlink

But to answer the question. I've seen nothing like that before. All the links I have made the cursor changes to a hand.



If you wrote the Site in HTML make sure all the links are like this




href="http://www.example.com">example







Also check in the CSS to make sure you haven't changed the cursor to something different.

If you didn't write in in HTML then sorry but you'll have to look up the help in the program you made your site in. If you right click on the link in the program and select properties you might find something about changing the cursor.



Hope this helps.

I am sure, you would know how to create a hyperlink, but just to make things clear, here is how a link code should look like:







Link Text







Please check your page code...

Answer 3

Highlight the text you want to create into a hyperlink>Right click>Create Hyperlink.

Answer 4

some times if you have lots of table and code and later go back to it, adding new links, cause niggling problem and even crashes while edding "golive does this". try coping all the code and paste it into a new page and save it. it doesn't always work and taking all the bits out and removing them into a new page in layout mode may solve the problem...

Answer 5

With my version of Word, I highlight the text then right click it. On the bottom of the pop up menu is a menu that says hyperlink. Click on that and it gives you the options that you need.

Answer 6

You might want to fix that with CSS. Put this code into your header:
