To facilitate navigation and allowing speedy and seamless access to information is a key ingredient to a well designed — and popular — Web site. A hyperlink is one of the key navigation tools of a Web page and therefore you should know what they are and, more importantly, how to create and add them to your Web project. What is a hyperlink? In short, a hyperlink quickly "jumps" a visitor to an "address" or loca- tion of either another Web page or to a section on the same viewing page. This allows you, the Web designer, to create Web pages that will present additional information in another location without being forced to place all of your Web content on a single page. You can set up hyperlinks to “http” and “ftp” addresses on the Inter- net and to e-mail addresses by using the “mailto” hyperlink. You can also make hyperlinks to Web pages that are on a local hard disk or company Intranet. You’ll set up some hyperlinks in the “Webpage.cnv” document. To attach hyperlinks to Canvas objects 1 Choose Object > Options > URL Tag. The URL Attachment palette appears. Tip URL is short for Uniform Resource Locator.
