Link editing dialog

A hypertext link, often called a link, creates a connection from one page to another page. In a web page, links are typically underlined and differentiated by color from the surrounding text. When a visitor of your web site clicks a link in one page, another page opens. Visitors use links to navigate through your web site.

In Editor, you can make text or images in your web page act as links. When a visitor of your web site clicks a link - specified text or an image - the browser takes the visitor to another web page or file, or starts their e-mail application.

Absolute and Relative Paths

When you're creating links to documents and images on the Web, you need to think about how you're going to link to them.

Editor support three standard ways to create links:

  1. absolute paths without the domain name ( <a href="/default.aspx">Home</a> )
  2. absolute paths with the domain name ( <a href="http://asplib.net/">Home</a> )
  3. relative paths ( <a href="default.aspx">Home</a> or <a href="#top">Top</a> )
