Setting a link on text

There are four types of links according to
the link destination. A link might enable
you to jump to:
- Another Web page at your site
- Another place on the same Web page
- Another Web page on the Internet
- A file other than HTML such as an image file,
sound file, program file, and so on
This section explains how to set each type
of link in the selected text. It contains
the following topics:
Related HTML tags |
<A HREF= NAME= ></A> |
You can set a link to another page, for example, to jump from the top page
to any of the subpages of your site.
- Select the text that you want to link from.

- Click the
icon to display the Attribute dialog box for a link.
- Click the To File tab.
- Click the Browse button, select an HTML file as the link
destination in the displayed dialog box,
and click the Open button to specify the selected file name
in the File Name box.

- Check the specified HTML file name (*.htm
or *.html), and click the OK button to set a link to the selected text.

Tip |
To make an unsaved--that is, newly created--Web
page the link destination, drag the icon beside the Normal tab of the unsaved Web page (the link destination)
and drop it onto another Web page (to include
the link source). The title of the link destination
Web page is set as the link source text.
(If the link destination Web page has no
title, its HTML file name is set as the link
source text.) Change the text if necessary. |
You can add a label to a specific text on a Web page and make it the link destination. This method
is useful if you want to place a summary
of the Web page at the beginning of the page
and then enable a visitor to jump to a lower
part of the page.
- Select text for the link destination.

- Click the
icon to display the Attribute dialog box for a link.
- Click the Add Label tab, and type a label name.

- Click the OK button to assign the label to the selected
text. A dotted underline is added to the
labeled text.

- Select text for the link source.

- Click the
icon again to display the Attribute dialog box for a link.
- Click the To Label tab, and select the previously specified
label name from the Label list box.

- Click the OK button to set a link to the labeled text.

Tip |
To set a link to specific text on another
Web page at the same site, click the Browse button on the To Label tab, select the link destination file, and
select the label name. |
Here, the term "Web page on the Internet" means a URL beginning with "http: " or "ftp:."
- Select text for the link source and click
the
icon to display the Attribute dialog box for a link.
- Click the To URL tab.
- Select http: or ftp:, and then enter the target URL.

- Click the OK button to set the link.
To set a link to a non-HTML file such as an image file, a sound file, or
a program file, type the destination file
name on the To File tab in the same way as described in "Setting a link to another Web page
at your site." If you set a link to a program file, the
program can be downloaded when the link source
is clicked on a Web browser.
