Creating resource and navigational links
When you add images and other types of media to a page, you create resource links from the placeholders on the page to the source files. You can also create navigational links from images or text on a page that users click to go to other pages in the site, other anchored locations on the same page, or external URLs or e-mail addresses. You can set up text or images as empty reference links and specify the destination files for them later or attach actions to them. (See Specifying the destination URL for a link and Setting up actions.)
To create a resource link: Do one of the following: - Drag the source file (such as a GIF image, a SWF file, or a Photoshop PSD file) from the Files tab of the site window to the page. GoLive automatically creates a resource link between the image on the page and the source file.
- Select the placeholder object (such as an image or a Smart Object) on the page, and specify the source file in the URL text box in the Inspector. (See Specifying the destination URL for a link.)
To create a navigational link: - Select text, or an image or object on the page.
- In the Inspector, do one of the following:
- For selected text, specify the destination file for the navigational link in the URL text box. If you type a URL or e-mail address in the text box, include "http://" or "mailto:" at the beginning, respectively.
- For selected images or objects, click the Link tab (if applicable), and then click the Create Link button
and specify the destination file for the link in the URL text box.
You can also drag the destination file for a navigational link from the Files tab of the site window onto the selection in the page. (If you drag the file to a page without a selection in it, GoLive creates a hypertext link and uses the name of the file for the text label.)
- If you want the link destination to appear in a frame or a new Web browser window, choose an option from the Target menu in the Inspector. (See Setting up target frames.)
- Enter a descriptive title for the link in the Inspector. This title appears in some browsers when you hold the pointer over the link.
- In the Inspector, choose an option from the Name/ID menu (choose Name & ID for maximum browser compatibility), and then type a unique link name in the Name/ID text box.
To create an empty reference link: Select the text or object in the page, and click the Create Link button on the toolbar. GoLive displays a bug icon in the site window next to pages that contain empty reference links. You can specify the destination file for multiple links at once by using the In & Out Links palette. (See Editing links and URLs sitewide.)
To remove a link: Select the text or object in the page, and click the Remove Link button on the toolbar.
