Email hyperlinks in front page

[Guest]

HELP!! I'm using Frontpage for the first time. It all seems ok but I want
to add a hyperlink to send email to me. I can insert a hyperlink by using
the web browser but, when I try to create a hyperlink to an email address it
doesn't work. Either it doesn't even show up as a hyperlink or, sometimes it
does but then, when I click on the link it says the file is not found on this
computer. Can someone help to un-confuse me please?
Thanks

Describe the steps in detail as to how you are adding the mail hyperlink,
please.

Please list the procedure you've take to attempt this. Read carefully the
procedure listed below.

For a simple email link, if you type your mail address in design view in
Frontpage and press the [Enter] key it will automatically put an email
address link on the page displayed like (e-mail address removed)

If you want a link such as "Email me"

1) Type "Email Me" on your web page in Design view in the spot you want the
link to appear
2) Select the text (with your mouse)
3) Go to Insert > Hyperlink (or click the "Link" toolbar button) or Right
click > Hyperlink...
4) Go to the Email Address button in the dialogue that opens and click that
button.
5) Type in your email address in the field as indicated
6) Type in the (optional) subject line if applicable in the field indicated
(this will add an the subject line to a new message in the user's email
program)

This will have "Email Me" and when you click the link it will open the email
program with a new message window.

You can also do all the above in Code View.

Click the mouse at the point you want the link, then go to Code View (or the
"split" view in FP2003). Click in the code view pane, at the point you want
the email then type : <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Email Me</a>

If you want the automatic subject line the code is <a
href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=this is the subject">Email Me</a>

Be advised though, having an "open" email address like the above attracts
spam (and tonnes of it!).
You might want to use the spam protector like the plugin at
www.jimcosoftware.com.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Hi Thanks both for trying to help but I managed to sort that one out. Now
I have a new problem. Sorry....I'm a really new newbie to Front page
Now I'm trying to add a navigation bar. On my computer it looks fab and
works great but, when I publish it, it publishes without the navigation bar
Am I doing something really stupid?
