Editing URLs in linksYou can use the Edit URL dialog box to edit the path to a link's destination, make the path relative or absolute, and add query parameters to the URL for Common Gateway Interface (CGI) requests and other types of server requests. Query parameters are used to query servers for information such as data from databases or loading server scripts, such as Perl Script, to process forms (see About forms). When you add query parameters to the URL, GoLive inserts a question mark (?) for the query, equal signs (=) between each parameter name and value, and ampersands (&) between each parameter. GoLive displays the complete URL including the CGI or other server request at the bottom of the Edit URL dialog box. By default, GoLive uses relative URLs for the destinations of links. You can use the Edit URL dialog box to change an individual URL to an absolute path. You can also make URLs absolute for a specific site, or set a preference to make all URLs absolute for all sites. (See Setting up absolute link paths.) To edit a URL:
The complete URL, including the parameters, appears in the Result box at the bottom of the Edit URL dialog box. |
