Navigation bars that link to external sites

How do I create navigation bars that link to external sites directly (other than going through an intermediary text box on a linked page) please? I see that the same question has been asked before but I have great difficulty reading the response as the answer itself instantly flips out to an external (irrelevant) site before I can read the answer! From the quick glance (before it vanishes) the answer has something to do with adding text to a Header box but I could read no more! Could anyone give me a response suitable for a relative novice, please? |

The workaround is to create a completely blank page in EverWeb, include it in the navigation and give it a suitable name. Paste this code into the Head Code box in the Page inspector of the blank page… <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.website-name.com/page-name.html" /> Replace http://www.website-name.com/page-name.html with the URL to the required external page. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Thanks from me too. I could not get this to work before but after updating to 1.1 it now works. When I made the link using a blank page the user is left with no way to return to my site because the tabs displayed in the browser were the new site and the blank page. As per Roddy's suggestion in another thread, I used a duplicate of my homepage for the blank page. This worked much better because the tabs displayed become the home page and the linked site. After visiting the linked external site the user is able to return to my site by clicking on the other tab. When I used a blank page there was no easy way to return. |
