hey all,
i'm trying to update our company website and i usually dont do it but my programmer is not around and i just need to add one link to it. on this website, there are really no links that open documents, just opens text on that web page youre viewing. i need a link added that can open a pdf document. below is what was in there originally which just pointed to another page on our site:
<a href="/bios/">more</a></b>
now i'm assuming that since this brings you to a bios page and the link you click says "more", the bios portion is where i need to add the path of the document. i dont know the syntax to add that path....can anyone help me?? i dont know what code this is written in either. so hopefully someone can help...if you need more info, let me know.
thanks!

It would be something like this:
You would need to place the pdf document in that folder on the webserver.
<a href="/bios/MyFile.pdf">Download PDF</a>
You would need to place the pdf document in that folder on the webserver.
