STEP BY STEP GUIDE
PART 5 - LINKS

You can make Text or image link to other place on the same page, or others page on your site or to other sites on the Internet. You can also link so people can send e-mail.

To link to other page

Remember if you are uploading a group when preparing web pages make sure they are all in the same folder. The easiest is to open the 2 web page on Frontpage express (if the target page on top click the the restore or minimize icon in top left corner (there are 2 identical sets of icons, the top one is for Frontpage express's main windowso click the set below) this will allow you to access the page you are creating link from).

Highlight the link text and either select the hyperlink icon or
click insert -> hyperlink.

On the Open pages (1) you should see the (2) 2 open pages. Select your target page and click OK (just select yes in warning box that appears about not linking on the web - as long as both pages are published it'll work)

If you have a bookmark (see below) on the target page you can select this as well (3).

To make a link to somewhere else on the same page

(like the (bottom) which will take you to the bottom of this site)
You must first create an Anchor or Bookmark for the link.

Highlight the first few word or the image you are targeting and click edit -> bookmark.

Set the name of your bookmark and then click OK.

Now select the place you want to make the link from .

Highlight it and either select the hyperlink icon or
click insert -> hyperlink. On the box that come up select open web pages and your page should be there. Highlight it and at the bookmark box click the scroll down box and move down until you find your target bookmark. The link will change colour and become underlined. (Ignore the warning box)

To link to a specific Internet site

You first must know the address e.g. www.joeblogg.net. You can note this when browsing on IE from the explorer bar. Before using a link as courtesy check with the owner that its okay (usually you can find an e-mail. link). Highlight your link point and select hyperlink. This time click the world wide web tab (1).

In the box marked URL (3) type the address without http://.
(e.g. www.fluffbucket.com). and then with the box above select http (2). Then click OK. The Target frame Box (4) is relevant to frames which we'll describe later

To set up a e-mail link

Highlight your link point and select hyperlink. Click the world wide web tab (1). in The URL box (3) type the e-mail. address e.g. joe.blogg@yourserver.net In the box above (2) pull down until mailto is selected. Click OK.


Linking with images

The process is similar. Create an Image as before then click over it

Enter your Hyperlink in the (3) Default Hyperlink box It is a good idea to add (2) alternate text

There are more links you can do but we'll deal with that later
