and press Enter. The link is now created for the highlighted text. 3. With the link now created, preview your page in the browser by selecting Preview In Browser from the Document bar or choose F12. 4. Clicking the link replaces the Dorknozzle site in the browser window with the Module Media site. Of course, you can also change the target of the link to _blank thus forcing the Module Media website to open within its own browser window instead of replacing the Dorknozzle site. Another method for inserting hyperlinks is to choose the Hyperlink option from the Insert menu. Choosing this option launches the Hyperlink dialog similar to Figure 3.42. Figure 3.42. The Hyperlink dialog allows you to create a hyperlink on the page.   The Hyperlink dialog supports the following properties: Text: Enter the text that should be linked here. Link: Enter the path of the link here. Target: Choose a target (_blank, _parent, _self, or _top) from this menu. Title: While setting the Alt attribute displays a yellow tooltip in Internet Explorer when the user's mouse rolls over the hyperlink, the Title attribute displays the yellow tooltip in all browsers. Access key: Use this attribute to set a shortcut key for the hyperlink. For instance, entering the letter M here allows me to press Alt+M to highlight and ultimately trigger the hyperlink within the browser. Tab index: Set this text box to a numeric value when the current hyperlink appears in a long list of hyperlinks. Doing this will set the numeric order when a user tabs through links. As you can see, this technique provides a more complete method for creating a text-based hyperlink. Email Links Aside from linking directly to external websites or to files located in the same folder, you can also use the Link text box in the Properties Inspector to provide a link for users to send email. For instance, the footer of our page has a sentence that reads Questions or Comments?. We could turn this sentence into a link that, when clicked, opens the user's favorite email program complete with an email address, subject, and so on. To do this, follow these instructions: 1. Highlight the text as if you were creating a hyperlink. 2. Enter the text mailto: followed by the email address that you want to appear in the To field of the email program in the Link text box in the Properties Inspector. For instance, I'll type mailto:zak@modulemedia.com. 3. If you want a subject to appear when the email program is launched, enter the email address, followed by a ?Subject=, and then the subject text you want to appear. For instance, I'll type mailto:zak@modulemedia.com?Subject=Question about the site. TIP Although we've used ?Subject= as the example here, you can also prefill the CC or BCC field in the new email message. To do this, simply append the mailto: link with the appropriate field name. For instance, if we wanted to add CC information, the formatted link would resemble mailto:zak@modulemedia.com?Subject=Question%20about%20the %20site&CC=ideas@modulemedia.com. 4. To test the results in the browser, select Preview In Browser from the Document Bar or press F12. When the browser appears, select the text to launch the email program complete with the To and Subject fields pre-populated, similar to Figure 3.43.
