Insert a Hyperlink

Keystrokes: [Ctrl] + H
Menu Command: Insert > Hyperlink
 

The hyperlink is the HTML component that allows your visitor to move from one page to another, all with the click of a mouse. Hyperlinks are also examined in the HTML Reference guide supplied with ScriptWorx.

Link To

This specifies the URL of the page you wish to move to. This can take the form of http://myname/document.htm or it can be /directory/document.htm. You can also use links to e-mail addresses, newsgroups, resources and secure pages.

Target

In a frames-based site, this tells the browser the name of the frame to display the page in. It can also define if the hyperlink will open in a new window (_blank) or this default can be left blank.

Style

This is an example of in-line style sheets. You can specify any CSS values here of the format:

body-background: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana, Arial;

Not all browsers support this.

Name

This can be used to assign a name to a hyperlink object, which can be useful when combined with JavaScript.

Class

If a style-sheet class has been defined by a pair of <style></style> tags or in an external stylesheet, the formatting of the class can be applied to the hyperlink by using this option.
