WEB EDITOR

Working with: Hyperlinks

You can turn any text in your web page into a hyperlink. You can directly set an internal link to a page or a bookmark inside your site, or include e-mail link, link to a picture, external page or file.

Please, note that we have a Video Tutorial available on this topic. You can check it out at EZGenerator Tutorials.

NOTE: You can also set images to act as hyperlinks. See Image Properties.

Hyperlink Properties

You can adjust the properties of existing hyperlinks.

To open the properties window, position the cursor inside a hyperlink and double-click. You can also position the cursor in a hyperlink and click the Hyperlink () button on the Main Toolbar.

• URL (text box) - Contains the actual link URL (address).
• Target (combo box) - This parameter sets the target frame of the page. The default option (if blank) opens the page in its designated frame inside the site. Whole Page results in the page replacing the navigation menu and other frames in the site, so only the page alone is visible in the browser (this setting is suitable when linking to an external site). New Window opens the page in a new browser window. POPUP allows you to create a customizable popup window, for more information, see Popup Properties. Same Frame opens the page in its designated frame inside the site.
• Events (button) - Allows you to insert custom scripts and HTML properties. This is an experts only feature.
• Hint (button) - This feature allows you to display a floating hint box while the visitors hold their mouse over the link. For more information, see Hint Box.
• Title (text box) - Sets normal hint text to be displayed while the visitors hold their mouse over the link. This hint will be enabled only if you haven't set hint box (see above).
