hyperlink a pdf file

E

Erin

I am new to webpage maintenance and need help. I want to create a hyperlink
to a pdf file on my computer through an exisiting button in the index. I have
opened the index in FP and changed the hyperlink extension and uploaded it
but it is not working. What am I missing?

Thank you.

It would also be helpful to know what "existing button in the index" the OP
is referring to.

Yes. I assumed he meant a click on the link but you are quite correct.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Kind regards,

I don't know how to post the link here.

The website is for an organization that puts out a newsletter. The most
recent newsletter has to be posted online in place of the old one. The
existing button is "newsletter" in the main index of the website.

I did upload the pdf document to the web server.

The link is looking for the PDF in the root web
http://www.medicineriverwildlifecentre.ca/wildnews.pdf
is that where it is upload to

Also change the target to open in a new window in
<A HREF="wildnews.pdf" TARGET="body"
make it
<A HREF="wildnews.pdf" TARGET="_blank"

It is uploaded to the same place that the old newsletter was uploaded to. I
just replaced the old file with the new file and renamed it "wildnews.pdf"
just like the last one was named.

I had also already changed it to open in a new window but it doesn't seem to
have noticed those changes either. I save the changes then upload them but
it's not listening to me! I must be missing some step.

Make sure the case of the filename matches the actual filename exactly
