The Add Web Link Tool

---

Using the Add Web Link tool, you can link to external pages, identified by a URL. For example, on your microsite, you might want to provide links to your partners' Web sites.

There are a number of ways that the external page can be displayed from the Microsite Management page:

• Frame. Within the frame of the current page.
• In-Line. Directly in the applet on the current page. Displaying pages in-line works best with simple pages. Large or complex pages, such as those that use JavaScript, can slow down the system and cause unexpected results. Be sure to test in-line pages.
• New Window. Launching a new browser window when the link is clicked; this allows the user to switch between the two pages.
• Window. Displaying the external page in the current browser window.

To create a link from a page to an external page

1. In the Page Designer view, select the page on which you want to add a link to an external page. (See Step 1 and Step 2 in the To create a navigation link between Microsite Management pages procedure.)
2. From the Page Designer toolbar, drag the Add Web Link tool to the position on the layout where you would like the external link to appear.
3. In the Add Web Link dialog box, complete the fields.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Name	This is the text that appears as the navigation link to the new page.
   URL	Enter the exact URL of the destination for the link.
   HTML Display	Choose how the external page is displayed: Frame, In-Line, current Window, or New Window.
   Release Date	Specifies the date when the link becomes active. The link appears when the date is between the release date and the expiration date and the status is Approved.
   Expiration Date	Specifies the date when the link will no longer be active.
   Indent	Determines the indentation, in number of spaces to the right, of the navigation link on the page.
   Access Group	Use this field to restrict read and read-write (select Editor field) access to this page item. If this field is blank there are no restrictions on who can view and edit this page item. If no editor is specified, all the access groups can edit this page item.
   Status	The status of the link: Approved, Designed, Draft, Final, Printed, Shipped, or Submitted. The Approved and Draft status fields determine what content is displayed in the page preview. See Previewing a Page.
   Description	Contains additional descriptive information about the navigation link.

4. Click OK.
