Adding links to menu items

It is very easy to add links to menu items. In the example below the point and shoot method is used from the Menu Link field to a file that is within the site. You can also browse or manually enter the link.

In this example, the path is relative and has a Default Target setting – the index.html page will replace the current page in the same browser window.



Use the drop-down list next to Target to choose:

_top (used in a frameset – the linked page will break out of the frame and take over the whole browser window);

_self (same result as not using any target setting);

_parent (used in a frameset – the linked page will load into the parent frame that contains a nested frame); or

_blank (linked page opens in a new browser window).

You can type in any link - relative, absolute or a mailto: email link.

Note: By default in version 1.7 and later, the link fields contain a # due to changes in the GoLive CS API. There is no need to remove the # – it is not written to the code on the pages.
