Adding hyperlinks and anchors
Hyperlinking an object such as a box, some text, or a picture means that a
visitor to your Web site can click on the object to trigger an event. The event
is most commonly a jump to one of the following:
• Web page (either on your site or somewhere else on the Web)
• Smart object (specifically a forum or blog in Serif Web Resources)
• Email composition window
• Graphic, text, audio, or video file on your local disk or network
• Anchor (a designated target within a Web page)
• RSS feed or podcast
• Shopping cart
• Navigation element
• User Data
• Picture
Well-designed hyperlinks are an important aspect of
site structure. They help
visitors navigate through your site and serve as an important adjunct to logical
page relationships as shown in the Site Structure tree. (But don't overlook the
time-saving advantages of using theme graphics for
navigation elements such
as navbars and Previous/Next buttons.)
You can manage all hyperlinks and anchors throughout your
site by using the Site Manager, accessible from the Hintline or via
Site Manager>Hyperlink Manager... on the Tools menu.
