I accidentally spanned my HTML nodes (whaa?)
What does it mean when the web publish application returns: Can't create a link when selection spans html nodes? Is there a solution that can be understood by an html doofus? I still want to create a link but I certainly don't want to span any nodes...sounds embarrassing.
I’m flummoxed

Inappropriate?Summitteer,
Apologies for the cryptic error message. This can happen if you select text for the link that spans more than one text style - for example, if you select past a boundary where the text goes from "plain" to "bold".
You can usually avoid this by careful selection of exactly the text you want to turn into a link.

Just to add to Jim's comment, I have often been frustrated by this myself. Sometimes the browser editor that we use refuses to select the text properly. I have often found that by placing extra spaces on either side of the text and then just selecting the text I can get around this problem. After setting the link I delete the extra spaces. -
Based on y'all's info, I went to the html page and noted that I'd tried to change the default font size of the text before attaching the link. Getting rid of the enhancement cleared up the problem. Thanks for the help. It pointed me in the right direction. Now, if I want larger text, I wait until AFTER I set the link. That seems to solve the problem. Thanks!
