View source for Add links to other pages: Joomla! 1.5

=== A link to an external Web site ===

You need to know the address of the page you want to link. The best way to do this is:-

::Open the page you want to link to.
::Copy (Ctrl-c does this) the address in full from the top of the browser screen

In your article:-

::Enter the text to be linked if it is not there already. (This is what appears as an underlined link in the finished page.)
::Highlight the text to be linked
::Click the "Insert/edit link" icon (a chain which becomes active when text is selected - in the bottom row of icons)

This opens the dialogue box

::Paste in the address of the destination page in the Link URL box (Ctrl-v)

To open in a new window (rather than in the same page) - this is often helpful for external sites:-

::Click Target - there is a list of choices.
::Choose Open in New Window

Finally - to insert the link -

::Click on the Insert button
