URL references

[Howard Acheson]

I would like to suggest that you consider developing a URL Reference tool like that used by WoodNet. Using their tool, I can easily and directly create the following

Sheet Goods (http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/477.xml&catref=wd22)

This is a much more consise reference that that created by your URL tool which follows.

http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/477.xml&catref=wd22

Also, with your tool, it causes windows to expand to wider than screen size.

Just a suggestion, Thanks

It already exists, Howard, and has been that way since I joined back in 2003. After typing the short text you want to us, select it with your rodent and click on the icon at the top of the edit window that looks like this:

41051

Then, past in the URL and click on "Ok". You're done.

The issue with the scrolling is that some folks don't use the WYSIWYG tools and a long URL will necessarily expand the window...as will a picture that is wider than about 600-700 pixels.
