After you have inserted a hyperlink in a web page, you might need to change its properties. In addition to changing the target URL or file, you can add text to display as a tooltip. For example, you might use the tooltip "terminology" for a hyperlink to a web page providing a detailed definition of a term. 


Location
Path to the hyperlink target.


You can change the hyperlink target by clicking the Browse button in the Hyperlink Properties dialog box to select a new target file or URL.


Tooltip
Text used as a tooltip for the hyperlink.


The tooltip appears when a user points to the hyperlink when viewing the web page in the Player. Tooltips display the same behavior in the Developer when you view your web page from the Outline Editor or the Topic Editor (for example, in the Concept pane of the Outline Editor). If the target of a hyperlink in a web page is a URL, its tooltip also appears in document outputs that include the web page. (See Web Page Behavior in Publishing for more detail.)


If this field is left blank, no tooltip appears.


To edit hyperlink properties:

  1. Right-click the hyperlink and select Hyperlink Properties from the context menu.
     
  2. Edit the target location and/or tooltip as needed.
     
  3. Click OK.
