Why do you use Dreamweaver for the purpose of creating web pages embedded with functional links?
- An adult web designer uses the Site-Mapping tool by Dreamweaver to create a working model of the website. The model site has all links functional, so as to check it for smooth end-user navigation experience, before implementation.
- Dreamweaver lets the designer browse through the drive to specify the path to a linked document.
- Dreamweaver updates the links in terms of the path they embed automatically, as and when the target documents/ images/ other media files are moved using Dreamweaver's Files panel.
- Dreamweaver lets you choose between multiple options of targeting a link, when a user clicks on the link,
- Replace the content of the current browser page with the liked page;
- You can choose to open a new browser page, that is, setting for the linked target to open in a different tab or a different window. This allows the user to easily return to the original web page without having to remember its web page address.
Dreamweaver offers multiple targeting options, which may be implemented, to decide where and how the linked web pages would be displayed.
These include
- _Blank: This option makes the linked target open in a new anonymous browser window.
- _self: This option opens the linked document by replacing the content of the window/ frame originally containing the link to the document.
- _top: It removes all frames, as the target document opens up in full browser window.
- _parent: This option opens the target document in the frame or window of the parent window of the frame/ window containing the link.
