Creating Links

 Link Button

To create a link, start by highlighting the text or image tag that will be the "clickable" link. Then click on the icon with the chain on it (shown above). Or press CTRL-L. Or right-click the mouse and click on LINK.

When you open up the Links dialog the text that will be linked is shown. This text can be changed, and can even be HTML tags.

The next choice is to whether or not to have a Status Message in the bottom of the Browser window. The sentence or phrase you place in this box is displayed on the bottom portion of Netscape Navigator 3.0+ or Internet Explorer 3.0+. Just type the URL location in the input box or use the drop down box to check your last visited pages for links you might want to use.

An example of the output of this would be:

<A HREF="http://www.coffeecup.com">Your Text or Image Here</A>

"Your Text or Image Here" is an example of where you place the Word(s) or Picture your visitor will "click" to go to the location you have specified.

You can also Highlight a word then hit the link button, and the link tag will wrap what you have highlighted.

Another feature you can apply to your links is the TARGET= attribute. You can easily add the TARGET= attribute when creating links that jump out of the window browser or jump into a different frame in the browser.

Your choices include:

• Page Default [none]
• Same Frame [TARGET=_self]
• Whole Page [TARGET=_top]
• New Browser Window [TARGET=_blank]
• Parent Frame [TARGET=_parent]
