| Between
your website and another website 
.
|
To create a link
between your page and someone else's page, all you need
is the URL of that page. Select the text on your page you
wish to show as a link, then use the link editor to
create a link to the other page. You will need the whole
URL including http:// This
is called an absolute link.
|
| Within a
website 
|
To create a link to
other pages within your website, you can use the editing
program. Select the text you wish to show as a link, then
use the link editor to browse to select the page in your
website you wish to link to. The link editor will only
enter the name of the file. This
means that whenever you move your website, all the pages
will stay linked to each other even if the name of the
server and the folder change. This is called a relative
link.

anchors or bookmarks within a page |
You can link text and
graphics to different parts of a page. This is used most
often in a table of contents or a navigation bar. |

Use the graphic
button to browse to find the graphic you want to show on
your page. The program will create a link to the graphic
file. One caution: you must remember the name of the
graphic file so you can choose it from your list of
graphic files in your website. The graphic to the left has been linked to
this page. It does not link to another page or site. If
you move your cursor over the graphic, you will not see a
browsing tool appear.
