Creating Links to Other Websites |
||
Sometimes the best way to provide the information your clients need is to simply refer them to information in another website. Let's face it, since time is money it's best not to reinvent the wheel if you can just link to the information that's been provided. To provide a button on your XSite that links to another site...
- Click the Link to External Page button in the Custom tab.
- Type the URL (web address) for the website with which you
want to link.
Hint: You can copy the URL from the Address bar of your web browser with the page open by highlighting the entire entry after the http:// portion of the URL, and then selecting Edit on the menu bar and choosing Copy. Once you have copied the URL, right-click in the URL field of the Content Editor window and select Paste from the menu that appears.
- Choose from the available options described below to determine how this
website will open the external website. You have several options to choose
from when linking to external web pages from your XSite. These include
the following:
- Open in Current Window replaces your entire XSite "shell" with the contents of the new page.
- Open in a New Window launches a new browser window and puts your XSite in the background.
- Open in a Frame keeps your header and colors, but loads the content below it.
- Open in an iFrame keeps your XSite header and navigation panes and loads the content in a small, scrollable window.
Be sure to click Save when you are through.
