Dreamweaver + Links

[Barewolf]

Hi,

I am using dreamweaver and i am trying to add a link or two to my page.

I want to be able to add links incorporated into my text. Do you know what i mean? Like the above in blue.

And i need it to take people to another website in a seperate window.

I dont know how to do this in Dreamweaver, can anyone help? its for an assignment.

I chose "Add Hyperlink" but it seems this is for html documents within your webpage.

I have no experience with deamweaver, but i assume you want the links to appear like this: Google.

if so, you would do it like this:

<a href="http://www.websiteurl.com">Text here</a>

If youre using the WYSIWYG view then select the text that you want to become a link and go Insert->Link

If you look at the tool bar down the boytom in dreamweaver it will have a drop down titled 'target' select:

_parent - to have it launch in the same window
_blank - to launch in a new window
