FrontPage 2002: Links to other pages don't work

[Guest]

I can't get some of the hyperlinks I insert in my web pages to work -
meaning, they don't click through to the target pages. Some will click
through, and others won't.

The HTML code looks the same, but they just don't click through. Here's the
code:

<font style="font-size: 11pt">Learn More:</font></font></b><br>
Read our <a href="Articles.htm">publicity articles</a><br>
Sign up for the <a href="Newsletter.htm">publicity
newsletter</a><br>
Read about our <a href="products.htm">products and
services</a></p>

"Articles.htm" and "Newsletter.htm" do NOT click through. "Products.htm"
DOES click through.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

rename the pages with lowercase (no caps), recalculate hyperlinks then
re-publish
stick to lowercase folder and file names, and no spaces

I tried that, but it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

be a lot easier to help if you post the URL to the problem page.
is that really the html?

To the OP,

I doubt it would affect the problem, but why do you have two closing </font>
tags (following "Learn More") in your example?
and no closing </b> tag (to close of the Bold attribute), and a closing </p>
tag, but no opening <p> tag....

I could go on.....

Unless your code doesn't show the above, because it is only an excerpt of
the whole page/s code....?

Sorry...I left a little bit out of the code. Here's the entire code section:

<p><b><font face="Arial" color="#003366">
<font style="font-size: 11pt">Learn More:</font></font></b><br>
Read our <a href="articles.htm">publicity articles</a><br>
Sign up for the <a href="newsletter.htm">publicity
newsletter</a><br>
Read about our <a href="products.htm">products and
services</a></p>

This is a work-in-progress at home, so there's no URL to post. But this is
the entire section with the hyperlinks. The first two links ("articles" and
"newsletter") do NOT click through, but "products" does.

The code looks the same, so I'm stumped. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

(reformatted for css/xhtml just because I can read it better)

<p style="font-weight: 700; color: #800000; font-family: Arial;">Learn
More:</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial"> Read our <a
href="articles.htm">publicity articles</a><br />
Sign up for the <a href="newsletter.htm">publicity
newsletter</a><br />
Read about our <a href="products.htm">products and services</a>
</p>

The most likely cause is that you have a typo. How did you get the links?
Did you type them in, or use the browse to and actually select them in
hyperlink properties?

Also, uppercase/lowercase mismatches will often break URL's.

You asked:

hyperlink properties?

I used the "add a hyperlink" function in Front Page; I highlighted the text,
clicked the "add hyperlink" button, and then selected the name of the page to
link to from the list presented.

That's why I'm confused. I did that with all three links. The first two
don't click through, but the third one does.

Thanks!
