How to form a web page link in an email message ?

I am trying to include a webpage link in an email . Is this possible . I am using Thunderbird of course.

I'm using Vista OS and TB 31.0 .
I highlight some text in a new Write message eg: link to my website
Insert > link
If I right click in the 'link Location' area and select 'paste', I see this error message:
error message: "(No named anchors or headings in this page)"
If I put cursor in 'Link location' area and use 'Ctrl+V' then the url is inserted. So this second method works for me.
There is also another work around:
* highlight text in a new Write message eg: link to my website
* Insert > link
* type anything (even a single character eg: 'X') into the Link Location field.
* click on the 'Advanced Edit' button in that same window.
The 'Advanced Property Editor' window opens. select the 'HTML Attributes' tab if not already selected.
Click/select/highlight the line with the new link you just created - it will show this info
Under 'Attribue' it will say 'href' and adjacent under 'Value' , it will show what you typed into the Link Location field even if just a letter eg: 'X'
At the bottom right locate 'Value', it will also show 'X'
* highlight 'X' and right click and select 'paste'
* Click OK to close Advanced Editor
* click OK to insert link

  • My Firefox v. 8 no longer links to web pages in e.g. email messages. Only links if I open Firefox first. Would be v. grateful for advice

    I have had v 8.01 installed for several weeks. All worked OK on installation. Since the last few days I cannot navigate to any web page from e.g a link in an email, unless I open Firefox first. Somehow the mechanism for opening Firefox has failed. Instead of opening Firefox, clicking on a link opens my Windows Explorer window at My Documents.'''bold text'''

    How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    Figured oout that I had restricted deletions of programs.
    Settings->General->Restrictions-> (enter your passcode), Turn Deleting Apps ON
    Afterward holding an icon until it jiggles will produce the X delete button.
    You might want to turn Delete apps OFF after cleaning up.

    how to prevent duplicate web pages from loading

    <s>Hi berternie, can you describe this in more detail?
    Are you saying the identical page loads in two different tabs? When does that happen -- when you click a link? or when you use a bookmark?
    Or do you have multiple tabs open every time you see your home page (i.e., when you start up, open a new window, or click the home icon)?</s>

  • If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

    OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

  • I can right click to copy a web page link, but it will not let me rick click again to paste the link to the body of text

    I use firefox as my web browser. My start page is www.msn.com where I can access hotmail. Once I have logged into hotmail and click on (Create) new mail I have this problem. If I go to a web page link, ie; www.msn.com, I can highlite the address and then right click to copy. When I go to the body of the email I'm working with, and right click again to paste I DO NOT GET A SCREEN THAT HAS PASTE ON IT. I tried this again by logging into Internet Explorer signed into my hot mail account and tried it again. It works in IE with hotmail. So I feel this problem has been encountered with a firefox update, because I did not have the problem in the past.

    Hi,
    You may have to make sure that '''Disable or replace context menus''' is enabled (tick) in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Content''' > '''Advanced''' (on the right end of '''Enable Javascript''').

  • Firefox crashes when trying to send a web page link.

    The questions says it all. I've tried three times to send a web page link and each time I got a Microsoft error message and Firefox closed.

    I filed a bug for this crash as it has been reported on Mac machines and all of the comments are either printing a webpage or printing a print button.
    If I may ask are you using File > Print or is there also a print icon?
    Another question for investigation is do you have print_printer?
    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    #right click new > string and enter name : print_printer and for value : enter the name of your printer with without the quotes, then OK.
    Please post back with the results. Thank you!

  • Creating Thumbnails for web page links to larger images.

    I want to create thumbnail images for linking to web page linking to enlargements. I'm using PhotoShop Elements 2.0 on a Dell 2400, XP Home Edition with 512mb RAM and 35gb storage available.
    The language I read in help sections doesn't addressed the issue I want help with. I believe it addresses saving thumbnails for Windows and Mac using .tiff or .psd format, not the .jpg or .gif I need. It seemed like there should be a way to change the thumbnail format. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Ted,
    You can use the ' Web Photo gallery ' as Jodi suggested for a large
    number of images or,
    Open your image, click the bar at the top of the displayed image &
    reset the size to what you want, then 'File', 'Save for Web' & save as
    .jpg or .gif. .jpg gives more options for reducing file size so that
    is what I use. Close the image without saving
    HTH,

  • How tall is a web page?

    So we're doing pages 900+ pixels wide these days, but I'm wondering how much vertical content we can use before the user has to start scrolling - what he/she first sees when the page loads. Is there a rule of thumb (or mouse finger) for this?

    It's true that you need to make an educated guess about the people who will be viewing the site.
    For instance, if you know for a (relative) fact that they all use 12 inch monitors and IE6, that gives you an idea of what to shoot for.
    If you have a sense that they all have wraparound monitors (surely someone will invent them) that are 36 inches on the diagonal and the latest, greatest Browsers, that tells you something else.
    You can get general statistics about Monitor usage from w3c http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp Allowing for a vertical scrollbar and top of the Monitor screen material (toolbars, etc.), you can kind of guess at the actual Viewport sizes.
    If you want to keep people on your page, and not scrolling to kingdom come (how tall is a web page? how high is the sky?), there are strategies:
    Make the header stable and the container below it scrollable within a container so it looks like it's all on the screen...
    Make the page short
    Make the page liquid, so it doesn't hang off the page on small monitors or cower in the corner of larger monitors
    Use Spry Tabbed Panels, or Spry Accordions, or other Spry content techniques
    You can imitate Browser/Monitor Viewport sizes by doing Window > Cascade and adjusting the size of the floating window manually (drag the right bottom corner). The size of the Viewport will show at the right side of the Tag Selector at the bottom of the Document Window (1038 x 628, for instance).

  • IPad won't copy text from web page and paste in email

    I'm trying to copy text from a web page, and when I paste it in Note or in a new email, it copied the web page link, not the text. Doing this in iPad.  What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    I think it depends on what you are trying to copy.
    To copy, put your finger on the text and hold until the copy thing shows up.  Adjust the size to whatnyou want, then touch copy.( I know, you already knew that).  To paste, touch the screen where you want it to go until the paste thing shows up.
    I just did it
    glass, metal and minimalist design. Two.    ( pasted from a web page)
    Some pages are set up so that you cannot copy words or images.
    So try a different page to see if you are doing it right.   
    If you want, post the link to the page and we call all try it as well.
