Testing the links

You can test a link to a page or an anchor in your Web site using Preview Page mode or a context menu in Edit Page mode. Links to other Web sites or Internet-accessible resources must be tested in a Web browser.

You can also use the Site Editor to make sure all the links are correct before you upload your site to the Web. See Verifying links and references.

Before you test the links, make sure you save all of your Web pages that contain the links or are the target of links.

To test a link in Preview Page mode:

1. Choose Preview Page from the View menu (Windows) or the Window menu (Macintosh) or click the Preview Page button on the toolbar.
   
2. Move the pointer over the link until it turns into a hand.
   
3. Click the link.
   
   Claris Home Page displays the linked page. If the link is connected to an anchor on the page, then the part of the page that contains the anchor appears at the top of the window.
   

To test a link using a context menu in Edit Page mode, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the link and choose Follow Link from the pop-up menu.

For information about other keyboard and mouse shortcuts you can use in Claris Home Page, see Shortcuts for using Claris Home Page.

To test a link to an external Web site or Internet-accessible resource:

1. Click the Preview in Browser button, and choose a browser from the pop-up menu.
   
   Claris Home Page starts the default browser application and opens the page in it.
   
2. Move the pointer over the link until it becomes a hand and click the link.
