Why can't I paste this HTML code?
Hi
I'm an HTML novice building a few pages with Netscape Composer. I have created a couple of HTML inserts – a counter box and a search engine link – but I'm having trouble with the Amazon associate's tag.
The code which they supply – and I've tried several versions of it – runs like this:
<A
HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/thecharitylink">
<IMG SRC="Button120x90.gif" BORDER="0"
alt="In Association with Amazon.com"></A>
But when I paste it into the HTML space and hit OK, I get this message:
"You need to enclose HTML tags in angle brackets: <TAG>"
Are there brackets missing? How can I fix this?
I'm running a PowerMac 200Mhz and OS7.6.1
Thanks
Chris

Hi

Hi
Thanks for so many helpful suggestions.
I fixed the problem by following your instructions for an alternative method, in your first answer.
It worked fine! Which is more than I can say for Composer – yes, I will have to test out DreamWeaver.

Can you help?
