Hello I have a page when you select a item from a drop down menu it will display the image to the selection made also it will display information about that product. What I cannot figure out is how to add a link to a pdf file in the information that is displayed. I want the link to the PDF file to be where it says "Select to View PDF. How do I add the link when I add ahref I get an error and no product information is displayed.

Thanks for any help

So change the outer double quotes ( " ) to single quotes ( ' ), or escape the inner double quotes with backslash ( \ ).
