Hyperlink

How do I change the hotlink on a published site to a new link?

RE: Hyperlink

1. Locate the relevant file on your local directory (or download from your remote site).

2. Click on the text that contains the link.

3. On the properties bar, simply type the new address starting with http://

RE: Hyperlink

Just to clarify, you don't HAVE to have http:// at the start of a link, only if the link is to an external (or absolute) URL.

eg. if the said link was on a page called foo.html and you wanted to link to bar.html which is in the same directory, you can just link to simply bar.html.

Another tip, is if you want to go back to the root directory of your web site, put a slash in front of the filename.

For example, if you wanted to link to bar.html from http://www.domain.com/mydir/index.html, then you just link to /bar.html.
