Thank you again.

Being curious as to how things went awry I just did right click on a FR rendered page where the reply of yours which contained the info could be found, and saw that the amazon link url was not contained "within" the quotation marks and brackets either, but only following those initial portions of coding, with the link url itself outside of the initial closing bracket ">" though it was there saying "amazon" etc., etc., with the book info plain as day, all of it together following that initial closing bracket, while preceding the closing and bracketed backslash "a", which latter portion is of course the target info which is rendered on a page to be viewed and "clicked" on.

I don't know if that [above] can make sense but to those who do a lot of hand-coding of links. Trying to learn such things elsewhere on the web I have often found people seeming to be speaking of some basic coding -- but with nomenclature I could not well enough understand. Part of the problem in trying to explain coding is also that it can time consuming to search and find just the right "coding" which can display the coding as flatly visible in the final results, rather than being picked up as being coding itself and being dropped off.

In reviewing my own html efforts, I find through experience of my own mistakes that just the lack of a closing quotation mark (if such are initially included) can make a link non-functional.

Coding mistakes are of course entirely forgivable, I make all sorts of other errors myself also, like putting commas in the wrong places, allowing typos to get by me, and just about any keyboard mistake not to mention lousy sentence structure --- so please don't take my above commentary as intended from spirit of my own to be anything other than hoping to be helpful, on a lateral and horizontal basis rather than any vertical neener-neener-neener sneering sort of thing. I don't inhabit the sort of lofty heights which can much provide basis for that sort of thing.

But thank you again for the title at least, and the effort to link to it to, rather than simply give a title. The extra effort is appreciated even though this time 'round the result was other than you had intended.

Your reply makes sense.
I copied the Link code” from the HTML sandbox and put it at the beginning and end and then trimmed the appropriate code, or so I thought. I will try to pay closer attention in the future, Thank you for you assistance.
