Some of my links need https

[douchrti2004]

Hi,
Im new so bear with me please.
In page Wizard as I design my site, I am inputing my links. Some are going to a https and the only option is http.

Is this a problem to the recieving site?
Is there a way in the Page Wizard to input a https ?

Take care, and thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, douchrti2004:

I'm not that familiar with PageWizard but, from what I can tell looking at it for five minutes or so, you can just create the links as

https://www.whatever.com/page.html

I hope that works; otherwise, I got nothin'! :rolleyes:

When you go to add link for a destination, a box pops up and it already has http://.
you can only put in the rest of the addy. It does not allow you to put the "S" in.

Thanks by the way for the quick reply, its appreciated

With https you have to have a certificate for the connection loaded on your box for your account. If you haven't done that or don't want to do that, there is a shared certificate that you can use. The url that you will need to use is https://www.domainname.com/~username/ . This will go to your root folder for your site.

example: https://www.google.net/~google/index.html

I don't know how to do it in the program that is part of the control panel but I assume you can type in links.

if PageWizard does not allow you to do it you may have to create the link manually. Go to insert->HTML and type in the following code

<a href="https://www.thewebsite.com/thepage.shtml" title="link to secure html page">Link to Secure HTML page</a>

href="https://www.thewebsite.com/thepage.shtml" is the location of the page you want the link to lead to. This can be anything on the web. "href" means "hypertext reference."

title="link to secure html page" will pop up a tooltip saying the text in quotes when you hover your mouse over the link. You can leave that out if you wish, it's optional. But it's a nice touch.

Hope that helps!
