Stupid HTML Question

Factual Questions
1

Outside the SDope (yes, there are other websites)… how do I make an active link? The way we do it on this board won’t work elsewhere. Not sure what I’m doing wrong…

Any hints or tips? Thanks, Jinx

A link to Straightdope would be <a href=http://www.straightdope.com/>This is a link to Straightdope!</a> if it uses standard html.

The HTML 4.01 specs say you should quote attribute values if they contain most non-alphanumerics like slash. In XHTML, they must be quoted. So, the markup should probably look like this:


<a href="http://www.straightdope.com/">This is a link to Straightdope!</a>

By “active link” do you just mean a regular hyperlink? Because “active” can mean something specific, but I don’t think you had this in mind.
