How to Add a Target Link to a Web Page Using Netscape Composer

Make a long Web page easier to navigate with a target link, which directs users to a specific point in the page. It's a breeze with Netscape Composer, a free, simple Web-design program included in the Netscape Communicator package.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Netscape Composer

1. Start Composer and choose Open from the File menu. Locate the page and double-click to open it.

2. Position the cursor where the target link will appear. Type the text you want to use for the link, or insert a graphic.

3. Highlight the text or graphic or position the cursor just before the text or graphic.

4. Open the Insert menu and choose Target, or click on the Target button on the toolbar.

5. Enter a name for the target link and click OK. A small box with a target and arrow will appear. This image indicates the location of the target and will not appear in the finished Web page.

6. Navigate to the target link by clicking Insert Link and choosing the Target name from the box.

7. Save the file and click on the Preview button to view it in the Netscape Navigator browser.

Tips & Warnings

• Target links are especially useful when you put a "Table of Contents"-style list at the top of a page. The user gets a quick glance at the page's contents and can skip straight to the part he or she is most interested in.
• Don't over-use target links. Readers can feel cheated if a link takes them only two lines farther down the page.
