Option: "do not divide hyperlinks with word wrap"

[Big Frank]

It's a consequence of absolute positioning CSS output, to maintain WYSIWYG.

I know that. My point is, it looks like the designer doesn't know what he's doing.

Each FAQ item is a separate popup layer. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to have the multi-line FAQ questions highly as a single unit, rather than separate lines -- AND be able to trigger popups (as opposed to following standard URL's).

Use an iFrame. It's a hideous workaround for a hideous problem.

It really is a hideous workaround for all the classic reasons:
- screws up SEO, and you'll wind up with search links that point to the embedded pages rather than the parent page
- the embedded page can't control the "parent" page
- tiny rendering delays can sometimes be visible to users depending on browser and connection quality

This would be a wonderful candidate for a tweak...

I was sure I had posted my tweak for this a time back. Here it is: HREF on a Line.web

I could have worded the blue box more clearly: "All textboxes here that have hyperlinks have had a special Name HTMLBlockText added.All you need to do after this is ensure your page has a copy of this blue Pin."

It works with any number of wrapped hyperlinks and ensures a immediate change or adjacent links is separated out correctly. I need to sort out popups.

I have included POPUPs on the second page:HREFs and POPUPs on a Line.web

Clearly, it needs serious testing.

In summary, add HTMLBockText to all required text blocks and drop the Pin on the page.

Thanks Acorn -- I'll check this out.

Success! I took the liberty of copying your jquery code into the header section of a placeholder on my page (functionally identical, I guess, to your Pin - just like to pry into solutions like this so they're not total black boxes to me...however I DO appreciate the notion that a uniquely recognizable placeholder, used consistently across projects, will make maintenance a lot easier down the road.) I need to do some more testing, but at first blush, it seems to work perfectly. Keeping this along with the other tweaks right in the Design Gallery in will certainly save time in future projects (and will certainly help me with my current client). Thanks so much!

Can you decipher this please?

BF, it is clever enough to spot adjacent but different URLs and handle them correctly.

Excellent - really. The site I'm currently building for a client is still in flux, but you can see where I applied Acorn's tweak on this page (please ignore items such as color pallette consistency, spacing etc -- all a moving target right now to be addressed as request for changes settle down). This is an FAQ page. The questions themselves sit in one large text area -- one page-sized block of text. The FAQ responses are pop up layers (they don't quite line up with their questions right now as the spacing and font sizes are up in the air). There are 20 questions and twenty layers. With the tweak, I was able to simply apply the requisite name (HTMLBlockText) to the entire text area, then highlight each paragraph (question) and set web properties for the appropriate pop up layer. Add the placeholder (Pin) with the needed jquery code for the header, and it's done! See the page in progress at:

Thanks again Acorn!
