Chapter 22 Creating Links and Anchors
Note: You may not need to select a frame target. NetObjects
Fusion automatically targets most internal links. If you
select , NetObjects Fusion uses the default target,
which depends on the current frame setup.
The destination page for the link appears only in the frame you select.
5. Click Link.
NetObjects Fusion creates the link. When a site visitor clicks the linked item, the
browser displays the destination page or the selected anchor.
Adding, Editing, and Deleting an Anchor
An anchor marks a specific location on a page. Anchors let site visitors go directly
to a particular part of a long page instead of scrolling and searching for information.
You can place an anchor anywhere in a text box or table, or on a picture or drawn
shape. You link to an anchor using the Link dialog. When a site visitor clicks the
link, the browser displays the page containing the anchor, beginning at the location
of the anchor.
When an anchor link is in a MasterBorder or AutoFrame, use the Current page
option in the Link dialog to ensure that the link always points to an anchor on the
current page. If you want an anchor link to always lead to a specific page, select the
page name instead of the Current page option when you link to the anchor.
For example, suppose your Layout contains a very long text box. You place
anchors at the top and bottom of the text box, and in the MasterBorder, you link the
words To Top to the top anchor and the words To Bottom to the bottom anchor. In
the Link dialog, instead of choosing the current page name in the Page name
section, you choose the Current page option. If you copy that text box to another
page with the same MasterBorder and replace its content, the To Top and To
Bottom links still work, jumping to locations on the current page instead of the
page where you made the links.
To add an anchor:
1. In Page view, select an image or drawn shape or double-click to place the
insertion point within a line of text.
If you place the insertion point within the text without selecting any text, the
anchor is placed at the location of the insertion point. If you select text, the
anchor is placed at the beginning of the selected text.
