RE: Documents
Hi Owain.
Say you have a document called mydoc.doc you would like to this document by using a standard html link tag. So the HTML that you would need to type into dreamweaver would be <a href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/mydoc.doc">Link to my nice new document</a>
Then when you click on this link the document would open. This will be the same for all types of document, all you need to do is place the document name and its file type at the end of the link. So if you wanted to link to a pdf called mypdf.pdf the link would be:
<a href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/mypdf.pdf">Link to my nice new document</a>
Hope this helps
David
RE: Documents
Owain,
You need to make sure the document is uploaded to your web server, too.
When creating a link, you can just browse for the document file the same way you would browse for a web page. eg. locate the .doc file. The code would appear as David shows above.
You wouldn't necessarily require the entire URL. eg. linking to "/downloads/myfile.doc" would also work, as long as myfile.doc was in a folder called 'downloads' on your web server.
