newbie - HTML Anchors

[Mark Oliver]

What is the easiest way to insert a <a href="http:\\somesite.htm">some
text</a>? HTML anchor. Can highlighted text be converted to an anchor
like it is in FrontPage?

Thanks,
Mark

Have you tried using the hyperlink control. In Visual Studio.Net you can
just drag the control from the toolbox to the web form. Otherwise use this
code:

<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl="default.aspx">My
HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

FYI: slashes (/) are always forward slash (/), not back slash (\) in web
development.

If you are using vs.net, then your highlighted text can be converted to
anchor tag. After highlighting the text you want to convert, you can press
either ctrl+l or select format menu -->conver to hyperlink option. Then your
text will be converted to hyperlink
