Creating a Smart Link

Smart links lead to a page in your site based on its relative position in the SiteStructure, rather than its name. These links automatically adjust when you change the SiteStructure. For example, if your smart link leads to the parent of the current page, and you move the current page to a different parent, NetObjects Fusion updates the link to point to the new parent. Sometimes a smart link is called a structural link.

To create a smart link:

  1. In Page view, select some text or select an object to link.

If you link to a text insertion point, the link name is inserted in the text.

  1. On the Standard toolbar, click the Link tool .

The Link dialog appears.

  1. Select the Smart Link type.


 

  1. Select the type of link you want. The links listed depend on the type of page you are on—normal or stacked, and on what pages are available to link to from the page you are on.

  2. Home links to your Home page.

  3. Up links to the parent of the current page.

  4. Next Stacked Page links to the next page in a set of stacked pages.

  5. Previous Stacked Page links to the previous page in a set of stacked pages.

  6. Next Page links to the sibling to the right of this page in the SiteStructure.

  7. Previous Page links to the sibling to the left of the current page in the SiteStructure.

  8. First Child Page links to the first child page of the current page.

  9. Blank creates an empty JavaScript link on the page that you can use to assign an action.
