Making text mouse active

[DaveC]

Wonder if there is any way around this little problem? Using DP6

When two lines of text (but only one text object) are made active with the link tool they sort of "separate" on the actual web page. The two lines light up separately when the cursor rolls over the text.

Nothing serious just a bit distracting, since both point to the same address. I know I can group two lines but then I lose the automatic mouse-over light-up feature.

See HTMLBlockText http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/wo...orkbook_5.html I think this may solve the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion but I didn't see/understand anything that related to my problem/question. Probably beyond my reading level

HTMLBlockText causes the text to be one block of text instead of individual lines of text. So, my guess is that if two separate lines of text have been linked, that this would cause both lines to be highlighted on mouse over.

I have not tried this but it seems logical that it might solve your problem.

OK I checked with an expert who says that HTMLBlockText will not solve the problem.

The only way to solve this guys problem is to add the entire block as HTML to a placeholder like this:

<a href=#>Veniam irure cillum in dolore incididunt. Culpa, sed dolor in incididunt nisi sint, cupidatat id irure dolor elit tempor esse, in consectetur. Ut sunt adipisicing officia dolore esse cillum officia dolor incididunt.</a>

It's not wysiwyg mind, but I don't think there's another way at the moment.

Obviously you replace the nonsense text with your own.

An almost WYSIWYG way.

The stops at either end are place holders with the following code :-

start =

<a href="#">

end =

</a>

The text is given the name HTMLblocktext. You was right first time Gary
