Completing the Create New Page section of the Insert Link dialog box

Use the Create New Page section to insert a link from an existing or a new web page to a new web page.

  1. Enter link text in the Link text box, if you did not select text or an image in your draft.

    This is the text a website visitor clicks to go to another page.

    Note: This text box is not available if you selected text or an image in the draft.

  2. If you have multiple websites, and want to create the new page on a website other than the current one, expand another website in the Create new page from pane.

    Note: If you don’t have permission to edit files in the folder you select, Contribute saves the new page in the first folder that you can edit for that website. If you cannot edit any folders on the website, you cannot create a page for that website.

  3. Under the expanded website in the Create new page from pane, do one of the following to select a page type:

    • Select Blank Web Page to create a blank page.

    • Select a page in the Starter Web Pages folder to create a copy of a preexisting sample page. You can use this page as a starting point for your web page.

    • Select a page in the Templates folder to create a page based on a Dreamweaver template (see Help > Using Dreamweaver in Dreamweaver MX), or based on a page on your website that the Contribute administrator designated as a template. A template provides a starting point for your page and can provide a consistent look across your website.

    When you select a page type, a page preview and a description appear.

    Note: If your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of new pages that you can create, you might not see all these options when you create a page. For more information, see your Contribute administrator or see Specify settings for new web pages.

  4. Enter a title for the new page in the New page title text box.

    This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not appear on the page itself.

  5. To set advanced options, click the Advanced button (Windows) or click the expander arrow in front of Advanced options (Mac OS), and then make any of the following changes:

    • Change the web address (URL) in the HREF text box.

      The Web Address (URL) text box always shows the full URL, and the HREF text box shows the URL that’s written in the page’s HTML. The HREF might be a different, usually shorter, version of the URL.

    • Select a target frame:

      Default
      opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames, the linked page opens in the frame that contains the link.

      Entire window
      opens the linked document in the current window. If the page contains frames, the linked page fills the entire window, not just the frame that contains the link.

      New window
      opens the linked document in a new browser window, instead of the current window.

    • Select a section anchor.

      For more information about section anchors, see Link to a specific place in a page.

  6. Click OK.

    Contribute adds the link to your draft and then opens the new page in the Contribute editor.

    Note: Contribute automatically saves the new page in the same folder as the draft that links to it (unless you selected another website). When you publish your draft, Contribute also publishes the new page. You can change the folder location for the new page then, if you need to.
    To return to the draft where you inserted the link, click its title in the Pages panel.
