It's up to you: if you create a link <a href="http://longurlhere">longurlhere</a> then you see the long url.



If you make

<a href="http://longurlhere">click</a> you see click.



Am I missing something?

Hi Kerrie



I think it is how it should be working - eg see my unfinished version on slide 16 of http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79



However there is an inconsistency in display that you are right to point out.



In my example above, there's a link (irrelevant) to BBC under "Accessibility Lead" which shows because it's short. Under "Audits there's a longer link to http://www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/techdis/keyinitiatives/supportingthesectors/higher_education/technological_maturity which doesn't show (and it's so long I wouldnt want it to). In all cases the link still works. Would it be preferable if the live text always showed and the actual url never showed?

My guess is that it might be. I'd be interested in Julian's thinking when designing this page.



Alistair

Dear all,



I have been trying to add a web link using the Navigators page type but the URL of the link appears below the link description text.  Is this how it should work?



Regards, Kerrie.
