    I have a site, which I will link to another site. Site #2 will display a page with my logo, if I send the logo absolute path in the link. Not sure what that should look like. I know what the absolute path is for the logo, but where does this information go within the link data? and are any special characters needed, etc? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    What neimion or Mike Weiss wrote is perfect. Place it in the html where you want it. For example, when you post Mike's in the html, it will look like this:

    Super Cool Awesome Neeto

    I changed Mike's logo example with a real image to help you out.

    I cant thank you enough!
    let me just confirm I understand. This link below will do 2 things;
    1 - bring user from site #1 to site#2,
    B - send site #1 image file to site #2

    <a href="https://site#2.com/paperless/webcenter"><img src="http://www.site#1.com/logo.jpg" alt="My Super Cool Awesome logo" />Sign In</a>
    This is what I'll use for my navigation away from my site to the second co-branded site.
    Is that about right? By the way, are you aware of any security issues in doing this? Or any other concerns I should consider?
    Again- a tremendous amount of thanks.

    The code you've posted there will produce this (with a different image, of course):

    My Super Cool Awesome logoSign In

    You don't really need both the image and the text as your link, although theres nothing wrong with it.

    Using niemion's code will make a text link like this.

    Using Mike's code will make an image link, like what NickyD posted.

    It just depends on whether you want people to click on text to go to the news ite, or if you want them to click on an image.

    OK, I see.
    I thinkIm using the wrong words to express my situation.

    what I'm really looking for is for my user to click on my nav item, lets just say its a link in a list of options. I put the words Already have an account? Sign In.
    Then I make the 'sign in' text a link. fine- I know how to do that.
    Im using a third party service to manager their account- that site can be co-branded IF I send them an image(my logo) in the link over to them. That part I dont know how to do.
    If I dont send them an image in the link over to their site, then there is nothing to show my user they are still working with me, so to speak. bad usability.
    I need to SEND an image within that link over to site #2.
    You are so very helpfully showing me how to make an image a link, and I do appreciate that.

    They either:
    (1) Want you to upload the logo to your website, and then tell them where it's stored.
    (2) Want you to e-Mail them the logo.

    well, thats what I would prefer, but thats not what they are asking for.
    They will insert the logo into their portal page with each 'send' from my site.
    Is this just not done? Was he joking and I didn't know it? (yikes, I'll be embarrassed)
    But Im sure he said IF I wanted to co-brand then I need to send the image in the link. So I would code my link field in dreamweaver to include their url, and am image. ???? Im so confused

    You need to ask them exactly what they want, then paste the reply here.

    It'll probably be something similar to this though.

    Mike beat me to it.

    That is exactly what I was going to write.

    You should be good with that.
