Hi,
Im trying to create an <a> tage to look like this, but
FrontPage wont allow me to do so. Is there a setting
somewhere that will allow for a long href attribute inside
of the anchor tag.

<a href="http://www.abc.com/AnthonyPageServer?
KREFERER=http://123.123.12.12/WebX.asp?
serial=NEWSTUFF3F4E6A0A209F117&KPage_PageID=ABC_Page&ABCPag
e=/lfg/who/prd/lif/mga/lnv/index.html&KURL=http%3A%2F%
2Fwww.anthony12345.com%2FWebX.asp%3FSerial%3DPSLIFE%
243E40210C1BC1E56">click here</a>

Thanks
Anthony
 
What do you mean by "wont allow me to do so?" Have you tried pasting your
hyperlink into the code View?

Anthony,
Go here:
http://snipurl.com/index.php
Paste in your long URL, get the short URL and use that in FP.

Yes, it is. There are a number of these services around.

My fav of these sites is http://www.tinyurl.com.
It's a very easy process with TinyURL.
It's really good for newsgroup posts and email.

But, as Steve said, using it in your html makes you dependent on that
outside service.
 
true, but still cool. it's too bad there wasn't something that we could do
with our own domains and such.
I've got a folder that has an asp redirect to my domain sales panel
http://nedp.net/domains
I guess thats as good as it gets.
 
The cool thing about SnipURL is that you can put a link to it in your Links bar
in IE if you use that Links bar thing. Then all you have to do is to highlight
the long URL, click the SnipURL icon in your Links bar thing , and it
automatically puts the newly generated short URL in your clipboard!! That's
dang killer !!

I did just stop by TinyURL and you can do the same thing there too. :)

There is no established standard for the number of characters in a URL.
However, there are browsers that don't support more than 256 characters.
Therefore, it is certainly not a good idea to make a URL longer than 256
characters, for sure. There are any number of things which the author of
this query string could have (and probably should have) done to make the URL
shorter.
