trouble with links to web pages

[catherinew95209140]

I am having trouble with simple links to external web pages not working on 2020

This is the code… to link to a site from an image:

      <a href="https//www.ckspeech.com">ckspeech.com</a></h2><br>

or

      <a href="https//www.sage-clinic.com">sage-clinic.com</a></h2><br>

it is adding the url of the base webpage in front of the simple URL. 

https://juliahobbs.com/https//www.sage-clinic.com

I have tried several alternatives...adding in the complete url:  https://www.ckspeech.com   and it still doesn't work.

 program adding in https://www.juliahobbs.com in front of the correct link?

I have tried seveeral versions of the url...adding in the https:// before or leaving it out. Neither works.

<a href="https//www.ckspeech.com">ckspeech.com</a>

This is the correct way, in other words, there is nothing wrong with what you have shown.

Could it be that an absolute positioned element is blocking access to the link?

Hello Catherine,

if I understand you in the correct way, your problem is "to link to a site from an image", ok? Here is my code, I use in this case (Please use your image-names and pathes):

<h2>

<a href="sage-clinic.php"><img src="yourImages/sage-clinic.jpg" width="yourWidth" height="yourHeight" alt="Sage-Clinic"/></a><br>
</h2>

All the best

... this <h2> and </h2> is not necessary here. ;-)))

You have MAD, Missing Apostrophe Disorder. It's a condition caused by not being able to see the single missing character in a block of code that causes it to fail, driving you up a wall. 

If the code you posted above is what you're actually using on your site, it is malformed.

You are missing the : between the http and the // 

Without it, the links won't work correctly.
