I am using Dreamweaver CS5. i am using the tabbed panels in my website. I have built a template. Now I am adding a child page. In the content of one of the panels I need to add links. I have tried everything but the links do not work when testing. I really need this to work. Please help. Thank you in advance.
I still don't know what the problem is. Incidentally, Spry is deprecated in modern DW. Adobe abandoned Spry in 2012 because it's outdated & the code base had not been updated since 2006. You might want to replace Spry Tabs with with jQuery UI. The code is very flexible and you can customize it as required.
Below is an example of jQuery UI Tabs. I used the black-tie Theme here but you can use any of the others below.

We would need to see your code. But you realize links on a Child page will have no influence whatsoever on other child pages spawned from the same template. Only links inside the Template & outside Editable Regions will populate to child pages when the template is saved.

I used the template to set up a spry tabbed panel. I did not change any of dreamweaver's built in code for the spry. On the child page I am adding content to the editable region of the tabbed panel. The links are not to the correct pages but I have not created them yet and I needed to test the links. The links are going to existing pages.
Here is the content I am trying to add.

Could it be you don't have the location link of the image in the - src="" for each image in the anchor tags?

There is alot of code to include everything here. It seems like the tab code is blocking the link.

That worked for the images. I also want to make a word into a link to another page and that does not work.

For usability reasons, a one word link is often difficult for people to see and tap on touch screens.
You want your links to be obvious & clear to people.
Example:
<a href="#">More Videos Here!</a>

I am getting rid of the spry. I have used a different approach. I hope this will work. I am in the process of testing. I might need help again in a few minutes if this does not work.
