Dreamweaver Tutorial

Add text links to your web site.
Their are two main type of links that can be used on a web site, on both do much the same thing, text links and also a image that links to a different page or even a different site. We shall in the next few lessons look at a few ways to add links using Dreamweaver, this tutorial will focus on the text links.

Create a new site of pages 3 will do for now, name the pages page1, page2 and page3, don't forget the html extension.
To create a link from page1 to page2:
Switch to page1 if it’s not the current page. just double click it in the site panel to open the page.
At the top of the page input the words page1, page2 and page3 .

In the next Dreamweaver Tutorial we will be looking at using images for linking your site pages to each other, but as you will see it's much the same, so what ever you learn here will help in later lessons.

highlight the text page1 and in the property inspector select the browse button and select page1, carry out this action for all the pages, when done highlight all the links and copy. Open the other 2 pages and paste the copied code onto the other pages, and your done, you now have 3 pages that all link to each other, while this is very basic, all web sites use much the same thing, just with lots more links and content. It's a good idea to use text based links on at least the site map, this will allow people with text-to-speech browser to still find there way through your site. Dreamweaver does have a feature that allows you to check you links, this is located in the site menu, you can find out more by reviewing tutorial number 9 or by reading the PDF document in the extras folder.
