Hi, I'm David, a trial user enjoying the Coffee Cup HTML editor.

The site I am refurbishing is: http://www.stuntacademy.com

At the very lower part of the landing page, there is a red boxed teaser banner reading: » Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299 «

When I try to link this banner to: http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html (in the visual editor), I have no luck with the desired outcome, yet can successfully make and publish other changes.

I have tried to achieve the same outcome using the HTML edtior directly, and here is the code I have tweeked:


<br/><div id="mybuttons" align="center">
<a href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html"></a>
<a title="Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299" href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html"></a>
<a href=""></a>
<a href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html"></a>
<a href=""></a>
<a onmouseover="window.status='Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299'; return true" title="Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299" onmouseout="window.status=' '" href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html" target="_self"></a>
<a title="Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299" href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html" target="_self"></a>
<a title="Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299" href="http://www.stuntacademy.com/tr_short.html"></a>
<a class="super button red" target="_top">&raquo;&nbsp;Special: 1 Day Workshop - Discounted to $299&nbsp;&laquo;</a>
<a></a>
<a></a>
<a></a>
<a></a> <a></a><a></a><a></a></div></div>


Can anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

:-) Many thanks,

David, It looks as if you've been going back and forth between the visual editor and the code editor tab. This really doesn't work well as you have found out. You need to stick to one tab. All visual or all code.

Wow...that is a mess of code!
I suggest you clean all that out completely and then as Eric says...stop trying to toggle between code and visual editor. Just go from your preferred editor (which you will then continue to use exclusively) to the preview screen to check your results each time.



To me it looks as if the code could be reduced to these few lines, but you must make absolutely certain that the banner details (or text) are between the <a></a> tags.

Thank you team for your helpful pointers.
I hope to report a good outcome back here soon.

Much appreciated :-) :-)

Many thanks to all for your goodness.
Big projects, working away!! :-)
It was all much appreciated.
