Tutorial: Adding Links with Dreamweaver

On this page, we will take our example so far and add linking behavior to the words at the bottom.

Adding linking behavior
Dreamweaver makes it pretty easy to add linking behavior to words or images on your web page. These steps will describe how to add a link to one word on a page:

  1. Highlight the text -- using the mouse, highlight the text that you plan to make into a link.

  2. Enter the address for the link:

    1. For a web page in your directory:
      Browse for the link -- click on the folder icon in the properties window (below). Doing so will open the link dialog box, which will allow you to browse for the file to which you're linking.

    2. For a web page somewhere else:
      Type in the Full URL for the website you want to link to in the "Link" box of the Properties window. The full URL should look like this:

      http://www.nwe.ufl.edu/
