Viewing very tiny link area

very tiny link area



User: Susan S. 8 years ago
Ok, they are tiny icons for email, Facebook, and so forth. They are at the top right on the page.

My question is: I made the entire icon the link, yet in Chrome and Safari only the area just below the icon is a clickable link. The bulk of the actual icon is not clickable.

I don't really want the icons to be larger. Is there some way to make the entire icon be clickable?

That's because the navigation object is covering the icons.

Do command-a to see it.

Solution : make the nav object less wide.

Besides that, I prefer clickable links. Saves me the trouble of having to copy/paste the URL. Use the URL button above the textfield :

I'm not even sure I understand exactly what you are saying. When I do a command-a it shows me the outline boxes of every element on the page.

I'm not sure what you mean by: make the nav object less wide.

By clickable links do you mean text? I don't want to type and I don't really have the space:

Take a look at taken from Safari. Note how the background of the navigation widget overlaps most of your social media links.

Doing a command A in EverWeb will show the outline of the nav widget and how it overlaps the links. Reduce its size by grabbing the right hand drag handle and drag to the left so that it clears the links.

He means that you should create a clickable hyperlink to your web page in your forum post rather than just entering it as plain text. You can make a link by highlighting text, click the URL button above the box and enter the URL in the popup.

To add to the last part, about a clickable link in these forums. Like Roddy said, click the URL button (right above this box), paste the URL of the site, click OK. Then a second box opens, enter the word(s) you would like to use as the link. It can be the same URL, it could be the word 'here', it can be what you want. The second box throws most off until they are used to seeing/using it.
Jumbo gave one example by using the URL a the clickable link. Another is below.
You can see it on this page.

If you cannot see what they mean, go here. In the top image is how the nav is placed, covering the buttons. The lower image is a close-up of the buttons, and you can see why only the bottom edge is clickable.
