Hi All

I am using Adobe Photoshope Elements to design my website.

Although I am getting on quite well I have come accross a slight problem.

How do you insert web addresses to make words, images etc into links so that
you can click on the item and go to another page.

I would greatly appriciate assistance on this matter.

Regards

Marco

In it's basic form...

<a href="phoo.html">
<img src="phoo.gif" alt="Go to a page about Phoo" ></a>

Make sure you use the 'alt' attribute with the image and use a meaningful
description, in case people are browsing without images - the browser will
then fall back on the text alterative - otherwise the image and possibly the
link will be next to useless.

It seems to me that you might need some schooling in basic HTML, have a look
at either of these two sites, depending on your knowlage level;

Something that bugged me when first using images as a link is the browser
goes and puts a blue link box around it by default. If you dont want it you
have to specificaly tell the default to get lost;
<img src="phoo.gif" BORDER=0 alt="Go to a page about Phoo" ></a>

As for that, you use the same <a href="xxx.html">type something here</a>.
Whatever you put between the 2 anchor tags is your link.

I do know the the basics of HTML.

What I have done is found a PHP Template I like and decided to do use it and
am editing it in Photoshop, I am looking at linking items to other oages in
the website.

I know how to do it in Frontpage, Dreamweaver etc. I can also write the
basic to do it.

Every time I click or highlight what I want to link I can not find anywhere
in the menu's anything to create a hyperlink and I can't find a way of
accessing the HTML text to add it that way.

You could say I am a bit of a novice with this particular software and
really should have stook to the programms I can use but I like the template
and would like to use it.

Surely you'll be able to open the template with some software that you
are familiar with.

As ia understand it, Adobe Photoshop Elements is a graphics / Image
editing package, and although it will output graphical slice HTML, it is
not an HTML editing package.

Doing things like editing text in Photoshop is A BAD IDEA, as it will
ulitmately output the text as a graphic, and will certainly not allow
you to add hyperlinks to the text because it is /not really text/ in the
HTML sense.

To summarise: Don't create textual content for your webpage in a
graphics package. Use Photoshop to creat your template HTML, then edit
the HTML in a different piece of software.

He also said it was PHP template. I don't get that bit at all. What
is the PHP used for?
