Testing links

Links are not active in the Document window—that is, clicking on them does not take you to the linked document—because you need to be able to click on a link modify the text or images associated with it. You can open the file associated with a link in Dreamweaver if you want to edit the linked file, but you must test links in a browser. See Testing your site.

To test links in a browser:

Choose File > Preview in Browser.

To open linked documents in Dreamweaver, do one of the following:

	Select the link and choose Modify > Hyperlink > Open Linked Page.
	Press Control (Windows) or Command (Macintosh) and double-click the link.

Note: The linked document must reside on your local disk.
