using "style" for several lines of text

Hi,

I have several lines of text in a table.

When I try to create a link to these lines it would appear that every
line must have it's own link ?!

Is there a way using styles to overcome this so that the several lines
of text will only use one link ?

thanks

thanks, but if I wanted to do that then I wouldn't have posted the
question.

I have done this before using CSS but have never used the "styles"
available in FP.

Can I use one hyperlink for several lines of text using the "styles"
in FP and if so, how ?

regards,

Michael

Michael,

It sounds like you're talking about two different things. I understand your
initial question as being:
There are several lines of text within a table cell, such as:
<td>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
</td>

and that you'd like them all to be a single hyperlink. You should be able
to do this by wrapping all the p tags within a single a tag like this:
<td>
<a href="your link"><p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p></a>
</td>

If you are talking about lines of text in different cells of the table, then
you would need to make each separate line it's own link as you can't wrap a
tags around table cells <td>.

I don't understand why you're asking about styles relative to this since
styles don't dictate the structure of links rather they define how links
(and any other content in your page) should appear. If you can clarify
this, or maybe provide some examples, I'm sure that someone here can more
accurately answer the question.

I hope this helps!
 
Sorry not to have got back to you before but my broadband provider
went down.

Your example enables me to do exactly what I wanted to do.

thank you !

What I was getting and didn't want was..

<tr>
<td width="179" height="145"><a
href="http://brazilbook.info">hello</a>
<p><a href="http://brazilbook.info">how do you do</a></p>
<p><a href="http://brazilbook.info">i'm Ok</a></p>
<p><a href="http://brazilbook.info">good</a></td>
</tr>

My confusion about "styles" arose because I had previouly solved the
"problem" by using CSS.

thanks again,

Michael
