Creating links
The HTML tag for creating a hypertext link is called an anchor tag or an a tag.
creates an anchor tag for objects, text, or images you create links
from. You can create links to other documents and files, and links to specific
places in a single document using the a href tag.
For example, if you select the text Home Page in the Document window, then create a link to a file named home.htm, the HTML source code for the link looks like this:
<a href="home.htm">Home Page</a>
If you are creating a link to a specific place in a document, first create a
named anchor (for example, a name="MainMenu"). Then create a link
within the page that refers to that named anchor (for example, a href="#MainMenu").
Before creating links, make sure you understand how document-relative paths, site root-relative paths, and absolute paths work (see About document locations and paths).
You can create several types of links in a document:
A link to another document or to a file, such as a graphic, movie, PDF, or
sound file. See Linking files and documents.
A named anchor link, which jumps to a specific location within a document. See
Linking to a specific place in a document.
An e-mail link, which creates a new blank e-mail message with the recipient’s
address already filled in. See Creating a hyperlink.
Null and script links, which enable you to attach behaviors to an object or
to create a link that executes JavaScript code. See Creating null and script
links.
Using , there are several ways to create local links (links between
documents in the same site):
Use the site map to view, create, change, or delete links.
In the Document window, select text or a page element, and then use Modify >
Make Link to select a file to link to.
Use the Property inspector, by selecting text or a page element in the document,
and then using the Property inspector folder icon or Point-to-File icon to select
a file to link to or typing the path of the file.
Note: Typing URLs or paths to a file can lead to incorrect paths and links that
don’t work. To ensure that the path is correct, use the folder icon to
browse to your link.
In the Document window, select text or a page element, choose Make Link from
the context menu, and then select a file to link to.
To create an external link (to a document on another site), you must type the
absolute path (with proper protocol) in the Property inspector. Make sure that
you enter the entire path (including http://) when creating external links.
