Help With Links

[jsbabineau]

Hi,

I am putting in a link to a PDF on our website. When I "apply changes" it says it is not a valid URL and does not refer to an existing file on my hard drive. So does this mean I have to have the file on my hard drive and upload it to the server in the snapshot? I would rather just reference the location on the internet. This is the location of the link. http://www.valleylitho.com/DOCS/pm5.pdf

Thanks
Jim

You need to add the link as follows:

<a href="http://www.valleylitho.com/DOCS/pm5.pdf">PM5.pdf</a>

You then only need to FTP the PDF to your site.

If linking from within a fragment of product description field simply wrap the above between

!!< and >!!

Actinic may whinge about the path during a snapshot but safe to ignore.

It is often courteous to indicate the file size of the pdf in the description before people hit download.
