How to Link to a WebPage

Creating a URL link to another page is not difficult, but it does help if you know the URL (universal resource locator) that you wish to link to before hand. A handy way to get this is to browse to the page you wish to link to and then copy the URL from the address bar.


You will end up with something like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/mydb.nsf/webpages/USHurricane%20Rita?opendocument

If you are linking to a web page on another web site, then you need to Full URL path including the Domain, for example:
http://www.news.com/article/Hurricane


If you are linking to another webpage within our web site, then you don't need specify the Domain name in the URL path. (Indeed, it is best not to specify this, because we use more that one web server globally). For example:
/mydb.nsf/webpages/USHurricane%20Rita?opendocument


The single backslash '/' signifies that the link is relative to the current domain name.


To add a URL link to your web page;

1. Mark the Text or Image in the web contents editor.

2. click the URL link icon (The link properties dialogue box will open)
3. Select 'other' for internal links and paste or type the relative URL path

If you wish to link to an external web site then you need to select protocol 'http' and enter the full domain name and url page
