Link to...
Select this option to link to another page in the current website, or if you are in a presentation document,
to link to the next or previous presentation step. The drop-down list allows you to select which page or
step to link to.
TIP: If you have many pages in your website document, giving each one a name makes it much easier to
set up and maintain your page links, because the page list will show the page names instead of just "Page
2", "Page 3", etc.
See the Page Tab section below for details of how to setup page
names, or edit the names in the Page & Layer Gallery
.
In addition to an entry for each page in your site, the dropdown list also contains the special entries Next
page/Presentation step and Previous page/Presentation step
.
Next/Previous page
Use these to add a link which leads to the next or previous page in your site. For the purposes of such
links, the page order is determined by the order of the pages as they appear in Web Designer MX
Premium. A "next" link on the last page links to the first page and a "previous" link on the first page links
to the last page.
Next/Previous presentation step
Use these to add a link which leads to the next or previous presentation step in your site, if your website
is a presentation document. The presentation order is also determined by the order of the steps as they
appear in Web Designer MX Premium, similarly to next/previous page.
Link to anchor
This option allows you to jump the visitor to a specific part of any page in your website.
To setup an anchor point, first go to the page and object you want to be jumped to. Select the object
and add a name to it by right clicking and choosing the Names...
option. Then select the object to which you want to add the link and choose the anchor name you added
from the list provided with the "Link to anchor" option.
Note that when you link to an object which is a long way down a web page, the web browser
automatically scrolls the page down so that your anchor object is visible.
Note
: You cannot apply a transition to a link to an anchor.
Link to File
This link option is useful if you want to add a document, movie or any other file to your website to make
it available to your visitors. For example you may have a PDF document that you want to make
available.
Select the object or text that you want to link. Then turn on this Link to file option and use the Browse
button to browse for the file on your computer. The name of the file appears in the text field to the left of
the Browse button. Click OK and your link is applied.
As well as applying the link, Web Designer MX Premium has now taken a copy of your file and placed it
in the support folder for your design. This is a folder next to your .web or .xar file. If your design is called
"MySite.web", the support folder will be called "MySite_web_files" alongside it. All the files in the
support folder get published along with your website and so that means your file will be published with
your website and so the link you just added will work. See the Document Handling chapter
