Interactive Buttons

G

Garret

When putting interactive buttons on a webpage to go from page to page. do
you have to have a url address for the button to go to or can you just put a
file name of the page it will go to? If you need a url how do you set those
up if you aren't hosting a website yet but just setting one up to save on
hard drive for now?

Make sure that you have first open a site via File Menu | Open Site then create or import all
content into the current open site. When you add links using the dialog, you browse to the page or
file, and FP will automatically create a relative link, as long as the file you are linking to is
within the current open site.

Garret,

Yes you can refer to another html file as say "fred.html"

If fred.html is not at the same level, use a relative reference. e.g. if
your home file is on myweb/index.html, but the file you are referring to
from index.html is on myweb/otherfiles/fred.html, the reference should be
"otherfiles/fred.html"

You can also refer to another position on the page fred.html. Do this by
inserting into fred.html an anchor, say
<a name="Ch1">Chapter 1</a>
then in index.html refer to "fred.html#ch1"
