Hippy | 13:48 Sun 15th Jun 2003 | How it Works
3 Answers
No matter what I try, if I try to paste or write a URL into an Answerbank question it gets garbled. The Answerbank computer does not seem to know when the URL finishes, even if I put spaces, carriage returns or break tags in. If I put two URLs with stuff in beween, it runs them together as one impossible (and non working!) link.

There must be a simple solution; what am I doing wrong?

hippy, my links Always paste ok; what i do is, open up a 2nd browser page with CTRL n, open the actual url page, then i know it currently works.. then i highlight the url in address bar, copy it and paste it into my Q. with a space b4 and after.. never fails.. hope this helps :-)
ps - a good thing to always do with your post, is select and copy it.. so if a gremlin screws your post, you still got it on clipboard for a retry.. :-)

Ok so let's try this. Here comes an URL with space before and after http://www.dabs.com/products/prod-info.asp?quickli
nx=2564KK&refererid=KK
and now another with a space before and after question 30434 so link one should go to the DABS site and link 2 goes to this page.
