Force default image
options
If this option is turned on, then the individual image parameters will be
overwritten by the Slicer’s default options. This image setting is
temporary and will not affect parameters of individual slices.
See "HTML options" on page 715 for the image options, which are Image
format, JPEG quality, and Anti-aliasing.
Assigning URLs to slices
Selected individual slices or groups of slices can be assigned a URL by using the Link Manager
palette. Choose Object | Options | Link Manager to open the palette. The process is the same as
assigning a URL to an ordinary object; however, the slice or slices must be selected with the Slice
Selector (see "Using the Link Manager palette" on page 691).
Using Web buttons
If you plan to export your Canvas document to the Web, you may want to add some interactive
elements such as Dynamic Web buttons. Web buttons can lead visitors to another page within a site
or link to a different URL altogether.
The Web Button tool opens the Web Buttons palette and places buttons in documents.
Understanding the button states
These buttons are called dynamic because they change their behavior, or state, according to the
user’s actions. Dynamic Web buttons have a total of 3 states:
State Explanation Example
Up This is the default, or normal, state of the button. The mouse is
not over the button area.
Over This is the state when the mouse is moved over the button area.
Down This is the state when the mouse clicks the button area.
