Using links inside product description

[Yanni]

I'm trying to use html links inside the product description text box but they do not appear when I preview the site.

So for example if I place this code inside the "Full Description Box" of a product:

!!<<A src="Brown_Leather_Briefcase.html"><img src="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Actinic v9\Sites\GRAFEA UK\Photos\VARIOUS-PHOTOS\Brown_Small_Box.jpg"></A>


I only see the image "Brown_Small_Box.jpg" , but the image is not a link.

Is there a way of placing links inside the text description box of the product that actually work ?

All html needs to be enclosed as follows:
!!< html here... >!!

Did you perhaps forget to close with >!! ?

Your image reference also only needs to be the image name - not any path. You can then add the image to the additional files list in Actinic and it will be uploaded to the acatalog folder online, the reference will then work correctly. You can also add the image to the PreviewHTML and DesignPreviewHTML folders to see the image in the Previews.

So your link will become:

!!<<A href="Brown_Leather_Briefcase.html"><img src="Brown_Small_Box.jpg"></A>>!!

Well, I've just added the following code:

!!<<A src="http://www.grafea.co.uk">Grafea</A>>!!

So, when I click on text "Grafea" I should be going to www.grafea.co.uk

However, I only get an underlined link that does nothing.

I've looked at the source code after uploading it and it gets translated to:

<A src="http://www.grafea.co.uk">Grafea</A>

Why is then not working ?

This is the actual page :

http://www.grafea.co.uk/shop/Leather_Briefcase.html

Thanks.
