Every time I write an HTML address --the text always stays black. So you can double-click it all day but it won't take me to: http://www.answerbag.com/profile/ e.g. I'm no novice (I thought ) to Windows XP, but now I feel stupid. Help.?

What are you writing the address in...? if you're writing it in MS Word you'll need to hold down the CTRL key and then click on it. If you're using a web editor, you have to select web view before it will become active.

WHERE are you talking about? In AB, you MUST include the http://, (the third slash in the "link" for the prior word is added by AB after the ",") make sure there's a space before and after the URL (after the "." domain), and it WILL NOT appear in questions. NOTE: Links WILL appear in Answers and Comments. In other places, you will probably have to put <a href="http://www.answerbag.com/profile/">Your profile</a>. (NOTE: The above will NOT work correctly as AB pulls the final quote and next "word" into the link. It will only display "Your Profile", but it should be the color of your links, and be clickable in most HTML. In some places (some blogs, etc.) you don't have to do anything more than for AB. It's also possible to make the link APPEAR to be normal text unless you roll the mouse over it. This is NOT good HTML. You WANT to show where the links are. Normally, when you roll over a link, the cursor will change to a hand pointing at it, and it will appear in the status bar at the bottom of thw window. I hope this helps.
