Any restrictions on linking to web pages?

My book has numerous images that, when TAPPED, link to web pages. I do this by simply creating a very large "O" and setting it as a hyperlink to a particular web page. Then, I set the opacity to 0%, thereby making the "button" invisible. When the reader taps on an image, the hyperlink works.
However, does anyone know if there are restrictions on linking to web pages from an iBook? I realize that linking to a competitor page such as Amazon, will not be allowed.
Also, are there any copyright issues involving the creators/owners of a web page? Is permission needed? Seems any web page would want to be linked to - kinda the purpose of a site being live.

Soulhill said: "I don't think there are copyright issues with links as long as you aren't using images or text from other people's work"
I hope soulhill is right.
If any more 'legal' or emphatic info comes through on this topic, that would be great.
Re: DEAD LINKS...just gave me an idea...I could create my own web site section, just to reproduce/have the web articles I want to refer to -- articles mainly with FACTUAL INFO So like if I say in my Diet Book "corn fructose sugar" is bad for you I can point to four or five studies that say the same thing....
Isn't this like 'normal scholarship" ? Right?

  • Have to repetitively click links in web pages to open  in Safari

    I notice that in Safari I have to click links in web pages multiple time to get them to open. I watch the progress bar to see if it is loading and look to see if the circle is spinning and it is not. I can wait for a while and still nothing so it is not me being impatient. It does it just about all the time on Facebook and it really seems to go nutz when I click links that are pictures. I constanly empty/clear my cache/cookies and run Onyx to clean up the system and still no luck. The system is completely up to date and has snow leopard 10.6.5 I even put new mouse batteries in just to rule out a clicking problem with it. It's like Safari just does not respond and has to be told twice or more to get going. Does anyone have any ideas or tricks that might help.
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome......
    Login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there.
    If you experience the same problem, launch Disk Utility /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk
    If Disk Utility reports errors, follow the instructions at this link. You will need your install disc. Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    Also, check System Preferences (Applications folder) - Universal Access. See if you have any accessibility features enabled, in particular, Mouse keys under the Mouse tab.

    If you are using Portal (not Framework), the below tag will do the trick

  • How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual

    Figured oout that I had restricted deletions of programs.
    Settings->General->Restrictions-> (enter your passcode), Turn Deleting Apps ON
    Afterward holding an icon until it jiggles will produce the X delete button.
    You might want to turn Delete apps OFF after cleaning up.

  • Can't get to links on web pages

    I can't get to links on web pages , shrink or enlarge the web page or show the other web pages that are open?The back arrow does work

    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • Detail Navigation missing when i link a web page in the WPC Scenario

    Hi to all.
    I had publish WPC site with the External Connector method.
    I have some Web Pages linked in the Navigation Structure, when i link one of this from a internal link (for example in a List link or other) I displayed the page and the detail navigation is visible and the focus on the destination page is light.
    Well, when I try to link a Web Page that not is linked in the Navigation structure (open it in the same page) the Navigation structure is missing.
    Why? How i can leave the NAvigation structure and display the page?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    this scenario is not supported by WPC. I think it was written somewhere (in a note or so). The problem is that if a page is not included in the navigation structure there is no navigation node associated. And so link to that page does not contain NavigationTarget therefore it does not trigger a real portal navigation but just displays the page in the iframe in which it has been fired. That means if you are using the standard framework page (i.e. with frames) page is shown in the inner most frame and the rest is untouched (side effect from which is that the TLN is not updated) and if you are using the light framework page after click the page is shown on the whole window as there are no iframes.
    May be you would be able to work around this by selecting such page to be opened in pop up window. Other options exist but they are more complicated as solutions.
    Hope that helps.
    regards,

  • Browser Issue all links in web pages do not work

    Having some issue with Browser: all links in web pages for various sites do not work. Browser was working fine for year or so just sopped the other day

    Are your links including "www" at the beginning? Is your default browser correct? If you have a backup just use that backup when your browser worked, to put it in its previous state, but first backup what you have so that you can upload your history ie if you still need it

  • This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect....opening Word docs from link in web page

    It's the ahla.org website.  It has both pdf files and Word docs.  The pdf links open in the browser or Adobe but the Word doc links open the option at the bottom of IE11 that just says "Open" or "Cancel".  When I choose
    open, it gives the error about policy restrictions or something similar depending on if it's Word 2007 or 2013.  If I could even find an option to have it "Save" and open after download that would be helpful.  I can right click the link
    and choose save as but this is an office full of attorneys and they can't find the download folder afterwards.
    This isn't the issue with Chrome being installed/uninstalled because it does it on computers where it's never been installed.  It's not a group policy setting as it does it at the office or home PC.

    Hi,
    ahla.org redirects to
    https://www.healthlawyers.org/Pages/home.aspx
    ... its a mess
    eg. the login link is http://admin.healthlawyers.org:8080/_login
    any error message with "Restriction" in it is from Group Policy.
    what you can try
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    Trusted Sites icon, sites button, remove ANY reference to
    http://ahla.org or http(s)://www.healthlawyers.org (IE has security restrictions preventing navigation between sites of lower integrity).... Other userAgents do not use the same security model as MSIE.
    the https protocol (secure web sites) works in any IE security zone.... If a site uses https, you do not have to place it in the Trusted sites list. It should work (encrypt) just as well in the internet zone (default).
    Hover the mouse over the pdf/doc hyperlink... its uri will appear in the status bar or at the bottom of the IE window... note its address. IT MUST point to the healthlawers.org domain. It should also be using the same protocol as the current web page. If it
    uses the https protocol, check "Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
    As I said.... it is likely that the above settings are controlled by Group Policy.

  • Links to web page in any mail message will cause Mail app to hang, and won't open Safari.

    Repeatable problem on iPhone or iPad.
    Any link to a web page will cause Mail to lock up and become unresponsive, and won't open the web page in Safari.
    The only way out of this is to back out to the home screen, double-click on the home button, then select the Mail app icon, holding it until I can "close" it. I can then relaunch Mail and look at any message I want just like normal.  But if select any link, whether a text link or a picture in an email, the whole thing happens again.
    Occurs on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad both running iOS 6.0.1.
    Any suggestions that will allow me to go directly from a mail msg to a linked web page embedded within?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • My Firefox v. 8 no longer links to web pages in e.g. email messages. Only links if I open Firefox first. Would be v. grateful for advice

    I have had v 8.01 installed for several weeks. All worked OK on installation. Since the last few days I cannot navigate to any web page from e.g a link in an email, unless I open Firefox first. Somehow the mechanism for opening Firefox has failed. Instead of opening Firefox, clicking on a link opens my Windows Explorer window at My Documents.'''bold text'''

  • Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

    Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website.   When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the  link!  I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash  Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it  still does not work!  I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows.  HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page.   If it  helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

    Go to this link:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
    Go to global security settings.
    Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
    Thanks,

  • I can't get firefox to download files from links on web pages

    I have firefox 3.6.13 and when I click on a download link on a web page nothing happens. I have to open Internet explorer to download files.
    It used to work OK for years until a few months ago.
    The only web page I have found that I can still download from is for mp3 files from amazon.com
    Isn't there anyone out there that has any idea how to solve this? If I can't get it fixed I guess I will have to make Internet Explorer my default browser.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • IExpenses Global Policy Link - Open web page

    in iExpenses there are some links at the very top and bottom of each page.
    One of these is the 'Global Policy' link.
    This link is not defined in a page - instead it is defined in the iExpenses application menu.
    The menu entry references function 'View Policy Guidelines' (OIE_POL_VIEW_GUIDELINES).
    The documentation states that you can modify the function HTML Call to call a static web page located
    under OA_HTML path.
    Instead Customer wants this link to open an intranet page in a new window i.e. Open a page that
    is not located under OA_HTML path.
    If I change the HTML call of the function to something like http://www.google.com then when the link
    is pressed the browser tries to open http://<host>:port/OA_HTML/www.google.com?menu=Y which
    obviously doesn't work.
    Any ideas as to how we can modify the Global Policy link so it will open a web page that is not located under OA_HTML path ?
    Regards
    Andy

    Hi,
    From AOL function form to call any page we give the path in "web HTML call" field. As per the apps standard and as name indicates it can call only those pages present under $OA_HTML.
    To call an OAF page, we give any page path as "OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/xxx/xxx/xxx/TestPG". Here "OA.jsp" is present in $OA_HTML and it will get parameter "page" value and route it accordingly.
    Coming to your requirement:
    Similar to above case you need to create a jsp file and keep it in $OA_HTML. Pass destinaltion URL into the page as a parameter and route it from there.
    Hope I am clear.
