Link and Lock

[Yonargi]

1. I set my first link w/o problems. It was two words: "Contact Us," in non-rich text mode.

I linked three phrases in a rich-text box (all to the same internal-page destination), and when I went back to check them, either they didn't take or they tell me the rich text box already has a link.

Here is the message it gives me: "Cannot create nested links. The Rich Text item in the selection already has a link. Click OK to modify these links in edit text mode." I did this, but it didn't seem to change anything.

Then I went into another non-rich text box and attempted to set a few phrases into links. When I clicked on "link," not only did the menu not open--the word "link" disappeared from the edit bar.

2. I also can't find anything either in the manual or forum explaining the need for locking the images. It seems logical that after I have successfully linked my site that the images, text boxes, etc., should be locked before uploading. What say you?

BTW, please know you've got a lot of serious admirers out here in newbie land feeling their indebtedness to you for all your help. We couldn't do it without you.

I get that Nested Links message when I have some Links 'Grouped' together, if this is the case, un Group. Sounds like you are on the right track. You can Link by 'Hightlighting' Rich Text, right Click and link. Or Click on the text Box with the Rich Text, and Link. But you cant do both at the same time

A nested link is a link inside a link.

Heres whats happened most likely... you used Rich text and created a text block, you clicked on the text block and made the entire block a link then tried to highlight just a word or two and make them a different link, therefore a link inside a link.... it won't work.

The problem with the Non-rich (plain text) link is when you use plain text the only way you can make a link is to link the entire block.

If you want to make only certain words a link you must use RICH text but be careful to only link certain words and not the entire block.

The only benefit I've ever seen to locking anything is to prevent you from accidentaly deleting or moving something while you are working.
