## Linking to a page

Links, also called hyperlinks, are items on the page, typically sections of text or graphics, which act as buttons so that when the user clicks on them a different page is loaded into the browser. They allow visitors to navigate between pages on your site, within a page, or to other locations on the Internet.

### To define a graphic as a hyperlink

- Select the graphic item.
- Drag the page you want to link to from the Site panel to the Hyperlink field at the bottom of the Freeway window:

The graphic will be shown with a link icon, and the name of the page it links to will be shown in the Hyperlink field:

### To define a selection of text as a hyperlink

- Select the text in an HTML item or graphic item that you want to turn into a hyperlink.
- Drag the page you want to link to from the Site panel to the Hyperlink field at the bottom of the Freeway window:

If you create a hyperlink from text in an HTML item the text will be displayed in the link style, by default underlined in blue.

If you create a hyperlink from text in a graphic item Freeway will automatically create an image map positioned over the text.

You can also define links using the Edit Hyperlink dialog box:

- Open the Edit menu and choose Hyperlink..., or click the button to the left of the Hyperlink field and choose Other... from the pop-up menu.
