How do I create a link to an external file? To create a link to an
external file, select the text or element to which you want to add an external link. Then select the File Link tab in the link dialog. Click the Browse...button and select the file you are interested in at the Open File
dialog. How do I create relative links to pages outside my publish root directory? To create a link to pages outside your root directory, you need to use the External Link option in the link dialog. While normally this dialog has you link to
pages using absolute paths (i.e.. www.mysite.com/folder/page.html) you can also choose to link using a relative path (i.e.. ../folder/page.html). To do this all you need to do is select the [none] protocol from the
drop-down list, and type in your relative link in the URL field. NOTE: When entering relative links always remember where the page you are linking from is to be located in the output directory structure. If that
directory structure changes where your linking page is located on the server, you may need to adjust any relative external links you have created. For an example of how to add a relative link refer to page 18-12 of our
User Guide. How do I target links? You can target your links with the
targeting drop-down list available in all link dialogs when using AutoFrames. The drop-down lists are only available when the AutoFrames option has been selected. For more information on targeting links in AutoFrames,
see our User Guide, Chapter 11, Working with AutoFrames. If you are scripting your own framesets, or you require customized targets, refer to our User Guide, Chapter 26, Working with HTML Directly. How do I add JavaScript to links? You can add JavaScript to any link by using the HTML
option in any link dialog box, by using the JavaScript option in the External Link dropdown list, or by using the Blank Smart Link option.. To learn more about inserting scripting in links see our User Guide Chapter 18
