Alternatively, dark links on a light background are also easy to see. Basically, try to
steer clear of using link colors that blend in with your background color.
Creating a Link to Another Site
Making a link to a website or another web page that is not in your site is very simple.
First, select the text that you want to turn into a link. Go to the Properties palette
and in the Link text box, type in the URL of the website that you want to link to. Or,
you can copy the URL from a web browser by going to the menu bar and selecting
"Edit," and then "Copy." Then, go back into Dreamweaver MX 2004, put the cursor in
the Link text box in the Properties palette, and go to "Edit," then "Paste" in the menu
bar (or hit ctrl + v on the keyboard) to paste the URL.
Creating a Link to a Page in Your Site
If the website you are working on that contains multiple pages, you will want to link
to your other pages so that users can navigate your site. After all, since the Internet
is basically a collection of inter-linking web pages, it's essential that you have links
that connect the different parts of your website. When linking to web pages within
your own site, it's best to have all the web pages for your site all saved in one folder,
or in multiple, organized folders. When your website files are organized, it will be
easier to link to your web pages.
With your cursor, highlight the text that you want to turn into a link. Go to the
Properties palette. Next to the Link text box, you will see an icon that looks like a
folder. Click on the icon. By doing this, you can browse your computer to find to the
.html file (or other document) that you want to turn into a link.
