Mozilla Composer: Links Help

The Link gives a "Page Not Found" error. It is possible that the webpage you linked to is no longer available online. However, it is also possible to make a mistake when you enter the Link Location in Composer.

• You must include the http:// part of the address. If you just enter "www.ou.edu" in the Link Location box, the link will not work. You have to enter "http://www.ou.edu"
• Even a tiny typographical error will prevent the page from displaying. Don't ever try to type the webpage address on your own! Instead, you should cut-and-paste the address from a web browser where you can actually see the webpage being displayed.

Links work for me, but other people say they don't work. If you have accidentally linked to local files on your computer instead of linking to files on the Internet, the links will work for you, but they will not work on any other computer. After you click on the link, what web address appears in the browser? If the web address begins with file:\\ that means you have linked to a local file. Open the webpage in Composer and create the link again, following the instructions for inserting a link . Save the revised page, and publish it again.

When I click on the email link, it says "Page Not Found." If you get a "Page Not Found" error for an email link, this means you have accidentally created a webpage link, instead of creating an email link. An email link needs to begin with mailto: . Open the webpage in Composer and create the email link again, following the instructions for inserting an email link . Save the revised page, and publish it again.
