Some versions of key online services, such as America Online and MSN TV (formerly WebTV),
don??™t enable their built-in browsers to open new windows. Every link that is accessed is displayed
in the same browser window.
Three other system-wide targets exist: _top, _parent, and _self. Both _top and _parent are primarily
used with framesets: The _top target replaces the outermost frameset, and _parent replaces the
frameset containing the current page. These two have the same effect, except in the case of nested framesets.
The _self target is the default behavior, and only the current page is replaced.
Summary
Whether they are links for Web site navigation or jumps to other related sites, hypertext links are an essential
part of any Web page. Dreamweaver gives you full control over your inserted links. Keep in mind the
following points about links:
n Through a unique URL, you can access virtually any Web page, graphic, or other item available
on the Internet.
n The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is one of the most common methods of Internet connection,
but Web pages can link to other formats, including FTP, email, and newsgroups.
n Any of the three basic address formats??”absolute, document-relative, or site-root??“relative??”can
be inserted in the Link text box of Dreamweaver??™s Property inspector to create a link.
