Help! I need help adding a download to my page using a text link or an image link. I tried Lissa's tutorial, but it didn't help. Here's my code:

<p><a href="redensek.zip"><img src="fontredensek.gif" border="0" alt="Great for blinkies"></a>

Can you tell me what's wrong/missing? Thanx!

I don't see anything wrong with that code- what happens when you click it? if you get a 404 error, that just means it can't find the file- did you upload it? do the filenames (the actual name and the one you're trying to link to) match? is the file in the same directory as the page with that link?

It all looks good, but one thing why do you have everything in your site open in new windows? Everything looks good, maybe you dont have it right on your site?

Oh there might be something missing, if you have stored redensek.zip in a differant folder you have to type in the floder name as well.

<a href="zipfolder/redensek.zip">YOUR IMAGE</a>

for example. and if your redensek.zip is located in a folder behind the folder your page is in here is what the link would look like

<a href="../redensek.zip">YOUR IMAGE</a>

okay, I got the link part right...but when I clicked on it to download, it said "The Compressed zipped (folder) is invalid or corrupted" What can I do to fix this?

Mmmmm, that means something went wrong with the zipping. I'd rezip it and reupload the file.
