KompoZer User Guide — 17 December 2007 Based on version 0.7.10 16

file use the drop down list. Your anchor name should

appear there preceded by a “#”. Click it and OK. That’s

it! If you test your page on a browser when you click

the link the view should move to show the position of

the anchor.

Note If your page is short you may not notice

this. You need to test with a long page with the

link towards the bottom and the anchor to-

wards the top. With most browsers the anchor

should be sit on the top visible line.

3.7.1.5 Bigger jumps

You can jump directly to the position of named

anchors in other pages. KompoZer does not make this

quite so easy to achieve. Proceed as in ‘Linking to

another file’ above. Af-

ter you have chosen

the file and clicked

‘Open’ you will see the

name of the file in the

box, immediately after

this type “#” immedi-

ately followed by the

name of the anchor.

Thus, if your file was

called

‘pagetwo.html’ and

the anchor was called

‘p2anchor’ the com-

plete entry should read ‘pagetwo.html#p2anchor’

(without the quotes). Be very careful to get the case of

the text right. With some systems it doesn't matter but

with others your link will fail if the case is wrong. (I

recommend always using lower case for filenames and

anchors.)

Note The anchor name is ‘p2anchor’ NOT

‘#p2anchor’. The number symbol merely tells

a browser that the following text is an anchor.

You can also, and extremely usefully, jump to

pages or places on other web sites. All you have to do

is the enter the full URL (Web address) into the box.

Again be very careful about getting the case correct.

Make sure that the check box (‘URL is relative to page

location’ is cleared (you may have no option).

While you can link to named anchors on other sites

I suggest that you don't do this. Confine yourself to

linking to the home page (usually ending /index.html).

To link to other pages or anchors presupposes that the

webmaster will not re-arrange the structure of the site

– in the end your visitors may land up with links that

don't work.

3.7.1.6 Link colours

Links are normally underlined and in blue text. If

you look carefully you may see the colour change and

wonder why. Links can exist in several states the

principal are:

unvisited links the initial state

visited links have been visited in the past

hovered cursor now hovering over

While these probably appear in different colours it

is the browser which determines this.

Note For Transitional doctypes KompoZer offers

a means of altering the colours via Tools >

Options > New Page Settings. All new pages

should use the new selections (they don't affect

the currently open page). A better way to gain

full, reliable control is to clear ‘Use custom,

colors’ and set link colours using styles. See

section 4.2.5.2.

3.7.2 Linking images

The techniques and possibilities are very similar to

those used with text.

To create a link

1 Click on the image

2 On the Composition toolbar click on the

‘Link’ button, alternatively Right-click and

select ‘Create Link’. The ‘Image Properties’

window opens

3 Click on ‘Choose File’ and browse to the file that

you want to link to. (The box ‘URL is relative to

page location’ is checked. This means that if you

move your page to a new folder you should move

the image to a corresponding new folder. If you

clear this box the absolute address of the image

on the hard drive is given in full. If you move

your page now it will look there for the image. As

you start to organise a web site you will find that

this is not a good arrangement and potentially

disastrous when you upload the page to a server.)

4 Click OPEN

5 Click OK

3.7.3 Editing Links

To change the file to which a link refers, in Normal,

Tags or Preview mode double-click on the link. The

‘Link properties’ window opens (for an image the

‘Image Properties’ window opens - click the Link tab).

Edit the link.

To remove the link delete the link reference in the

box.

3.8 Frames

If you don’t know what frames are read no further

- you'll be no worse off.

KompoZer does not support frames – at least not at

present. If you open a frame document, you get a

message ‘This page can't be edited for an unknown

reason’ but it displays the frame content rather beau-

tifully. Then you can do nothing with it except click on

the ‘Source’ tab. You then see the source code and the

system will seem to lock up. Actually it doesn’t lock

and you can load another page and revert to normal

operation.

This is not a great limitation. Though the code for

frames takes a little getting used to it is usually quite

short and can easily be produced using a text editor.

Once established it probably rarely needs to be al-

tered. You can use KompoZer to develop the pages that

go into the frames.

Tip. If you have organised

your page well using headings

when appropriate KompoZer

makes linking to places on a

page extremely easy. Even if

you have not inserted an an-

chor choose the drop down list

as described. All headings will

be included in the list and

clicking on one will simultane-

ously create the anchor and

link to it.
