explicitly closed by the viewer. Just unselect the Close pop-up automatically
checkbox in the Layer properties dialog. Then a close button is included in the top right of the pop-up,
and it stays on screen until the close button is pressed.
Note that you can also get to the Layer properties by clicking the "Settings…" button next to the pop-up
layer option in the Link dialog.
Note that all the content on the pop-up layer is loaded as soon as the visitor visits your page. So if you
want to provide a lot of pop-up photos, use the Pop-up Photo
feature described below instead.
The "Getting Started" chapter
includes some step by step instructions on adding layer pop-ups.
Pop-up photo
This option gives you a very easy way to add pop-up photos and other photo gallery features to your
website, without adding any layers! Simply import your photo and use the Selector Tool to scale it right
down so it appears as just a small photo thumbnail on your webpage. Then select it and choose this "
Pop-up photo
" option.
Click the Settings button next to this option to go to the Image tab, where you can set the size of the
pop-up photo, add a title and caption, and choose from many other options. See the Image tab section
below
for details. Selecting the pop-up photo option on this Link tab, also selects the pop-up photo checkbox
on the Image tab ? both turn on the same pop-up behavior.
Use common website link colors
This option lets you choose how the selected text link should be displayed. It is selected by default,
meaning that the text link will show with the link color you have defined for the whole website. You can
set this color on the Website tab (see Website Tab section).
If you uncheck this option, then the selected text link will keep the color that you give it on the page. So
you can give different links different colors if desired.
Open link in
This option does nothing if either of the "Pop-up layer" or "Pop-up photo" link options are selected. But
for other links it allows you to tell the web browser how the target web page should be loaded. By
default it is set to "Not specified" which usually means the browser will open the link in the same browser
window and frame as the link.
The dropdown list contains four options that cause the browser to do special things. You can select one
of these options, or type in the name of a frame:
New window or Tab (_blank)
Open the link in a new browser window.
Same frame (_self)
Open the link in this frame (the frame that contains this object).
Parent frame (_parent)
Open the link into the parent window or frameset that contains this frame.
Same window (_top)
Open the link into the main browser window, replacing any existing frames.
If you want the link to be loaded into a specific frame in the browser, type the name of the frame in this
field.
