This command allows you to insert an external hypertext link in your document; that is a link to another HTML document, image, or even an external reference to your site (to a Web page or to an e-mail address, for example). The hyperlink can be text or an image.
Select the text or image that will act as the hyperlink.
In the Specialized tab, click on the icon External link. You can also use the shortcut SHIFT+ALT+X (Refer to list of shortcuts).
In the text box Reference
to an external link, enter the access path and the file name. You
can also search for the file in your folders by using the Open
button.
(It is important to note that the referred file name cannot contain
special characters nor spaces in its name. Some browsers do not accept
these options.)
If you refer to a document in one of your folders, the Link Content window appears below the dialog box. It allows you to view the contents of the link you have chosen.
Select the type of external link from the following options:
None (direct link): direct link to another document (../../section/page.html).
HTTP link: link to an HTTP address (http://www.domain.com/).
FTP link: link to an FTP address (ftp://username:password@ftp.domain.com/).
e-mail: link to an e-mail address (mailto:email@address.com).
Newsgroup: link to a newsgroup (news:alt.groupname).
If necessary, define an internal destination using the options found under Existing destination(s) if they already exist. If the internal destination has not been created, select the target in the Document content area and click on the Destination button. In the Insert an Internal Link dialog box that is displayed, indicate a name for the target and click on the OK button.
Click on OK.
The following command will appear in your document:
<a href="AccessPath/FileName"> Text or image acting as hyperlink </a>
To insert a link from the Windows desktop:
Click on the file you want to link to your CuteHTML Pro document. Your file may be located on the Windows desktop or in one of the other Windows explorer windows.
Drag the file to the desired location on the edit window.
The following command will appear in your document:
<a href="AccessPath/FileName"> my text </a>
To edit the references to a hyperlink, you can use tag recapture .
Two other tabs allow you to define the link's target:
Existing destination(s) |
This tab allows you to indicate a specific location inside a document where you want the link to point to. This location must have been defined previously with the command Internal link. This option adds the # suffix to the hyperlink: <a href="Path/FileName#location"> |
Frame targets |
Use this tab to indicate a target window (FRAME). This command is particularly useful if you work with frames (FRAME) or to make an additional browser window appear. This option adds the TARGET attribute to the command HREF: <a href="AccessPath/FileName" target="LinkName"> |
