Perhaps > there's just something wrong with how my viewer is handling them? Several of you were kind enough to send me "test messages" with your "hyperlinks" included. Since there were several of you, and I don't have time at the moment to reply individually to each, this message will have to serve as my "thank you" to all of you. Thank you! First, as a "plain text person" myself, I want to thank you for even starting up the dreaded HTML editor at all in order to help me out. I know how painful this can be. Secondly...all your hyperlinks worked! However, I must include the following caveat, though I'm not yet entirely sure if this is the only thing that "fixed" it for me... At the time I wrote my original query, I had just recently installed TB! v2.10.03. This was the version I was using while testing the HTML editor and the "hyperlink" function. For an unrelated reason, between that time and the time I tested the "hyperlinks" all of you sent to me, I had rolled back my Bat to v2.10.01. In subsequent testing of hyperlink creation/clicking in v2.10.01, everything here seems to work as expected. I can create hyperlinks in the HTML editor, and when I send the test mail to myself, I can click on them (single click), and they work as expected. I may do a bit more testing between v2.10.01 and v2.10.03, just out of masochistic curiosity, but for the moment, rolling back to the earlier version of TB! seems to have addressed the "problem" I encountered last night in my testing. I'll pass this information on to my mom, and hopefully, in spite of this working, she still won't be sending much of the "HTML email" around! :-) Thanks again for all your help! -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.10.01 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Melissa, > When I move the mouse pointer over the link, the little "hand" shows > up as if it's a clickable link, but when I click on it, nothing > happens. Have you tried to click a second or third time? I seem to recall some people complaining about the first click not working. Although I hardly receive any HTML with a link, I also seem to recall this happening. The first click attempt just scrolls the message to top, but a second attempt works. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

No. I actually did try it the way you described as well...first typing the "text" in the message body, selecting it, then clicking on the hyperlink button, and just putting the URL in the appropriate space. Even this technique didn't work for me. Any other ideas?

I have a feeling that you may be typing the "text" in the "Link name" dialog, which is the "name" part of the tag, not the visible text. Try this: Type the text you want to see. Select it. Choose the link icon. Type the URL in the URL part of the dialog. Note that the text you have selected is shown above and it not editable. If you want to give the link a name, type it in the name box. This technique generates a proper HTML link for me. -- Bill Blinn - Technology Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - 4/30/2004 at 9:47 PM Technology Editor, Newsradio 610 WTVN, Columbus, Ohio Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Random thought: I find it hard to sit still in one spot, and impossible to sit still in two spots.

Eek! A Bat HTML (hyperlink) question!
Hi, I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but I recently got my mother to move from TB! v1.62 to v2.x. Of course, this means that she's now interested in sending the occasional HTML message (some of her friends really like this sort of thing). She has run into a problem, and I'm trying to help her figure it out...it has to do with the "Hyperlink" option in the HTML editor. I've been doing a bit of testing in my own Bat, and I can't seem to create a working link using the "hyperlink" button in the HTML editor. Here's what I've been trying... I click on the hyperlink button, type in the text that should be visible, then type a URL in the space provided. When I close that dialog box, the text shows up underlined in the message body. I send the message to myself, and view it as HTML. When I move the mouse pointer over the link, the little "hand" shows up as if it's a clickable link, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I've tried typing the URL in a couple of different ways: http://www.blahblah.com/ and www.blahblah.com Neither seems to work. If I'm doing this incorrectly, can someone please show me the error of my ways? Or, is there a known bug with the hyperlink option in the HTML editor? Thanks! PS: Sorry for helping someone to create "HTML email", but it's my mom, and I want her to be happy. I'll repent later. :-) -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
