Trying To Add Hyperlink To Homepage

Everytime I attempt to add a hyperlink via FCKeditor (v2.0 FC, preloaded with CC 3.0.15) to the Homepage, the URL changes in the Source code from the standard <a href="...> to include a \&quot; inside the double quotes on either side of the URL as follows:

<a href="http://newslookagifthorse.blogspot.com">newslookagifthorse.blogspot.com</a>

changes to:

<a href="\&quot;http://newslookagifthorse.blogspot.com\&quot;">newslookagifthorse.blogspot.com</a>

If I upload the modified page, when you click on the hyperlink, it bombs because it then includes the URL of the store in front and /%22's on either side as demonstrated below:

http://www.lookagifthorse.com/%22http://ne...logspot.com/%22

I am sure this has something to do with a configuration file either in the FCKeditor itself or globally?? I have tried both typing in the URL and also via cut /paste to no avail.

Can anyone explain how to fix this? :P

Thanks!

The \&quot; is the symbol for ". It looks like it is a setting in the editor.

Try one of the following:

Use single quotes

Try putting a \ before the double quotes

Try using none at all.

One of those should work!

Thank you for your reply. I am guessing that something in the editor is forcing the link to include the double quotes, (in addition to the double quotes that you'd expect to see) as well as the path from the site to appear in front of the true URL path. It doesn't matter how I modify the source (tried all three ways you described), the editor keeps reverting back to the code described in my original post.

There's got to be something in the editor code that supercedes the formatting of hyperlinks relative to the site's URL?? Any ideas? Not sure what file(s) within the editor directories drive the hyperlink paths and formatting?? Hhhhmmm??? LAGH Blog

Thanks Again!
