Dreamweaver Tutorial - Creating Links
To create a link from one web page to another
- Highlight the text that you want to show up as a link
(or click on the graphic that you want to use as the link).
- The Text panel gives you the option to enter the URL.
- NOTE: To see a fuller discussion of various types of links see the
html links page.
To create a target (anchor) link on a web page
A target (also called an anchor) is a location within a web page that you can move to quickly by clicking on text on the same
web page. It is often used as a fast way to navigate a long web page.
- First, you need to create an anchor point where you want the link to got to in the page.
- Move your cursor to the target location.
- In the Common tool panel select "Invisibles." (An anchor shows up in the code but not on your page,
hence the invisible designation.

- Once in the Invisibles tool panel, select the anchor icon.

- This gives you a dialog box that allows you to name the anchor. Name it an click OK.
- Once you have created an anchor, you can create a link on the page that goes to it.
- Type in and highlight the text that you want to show up as a link in the
proper place in the design window.
- Enter the name of the anchor preceded by a pound sign in the link box on the text panel.
To create an email link on a web page
- Place the cursor in the design window where you want the text to show up as a link or highlight the
text that you want to show up as a link.
- The Common panel gives you the option to enter an email link. Select the mail icon.
- This opens a dialog box that allows you to enter the text you want as a link (or automatically
places the selected text into the text box) and prompts you to enter the email address.
- Enter email and click ok.
