Linking to external websites in Web Help
In our web help system, we have links to external websites. While some of the linked websites are displayed properly, the other websites are not displayed.
For example, if you click on such a hyperlink, you will get an error like "Refused to connect" (Chrome) or "Can't Open This Page" (Firefox).
Q: How can we solve this problem?
Linking to a paragraph in another topic
