How do i make live links in an ebook?

Using Indd CS5 mac OS 10.6.8
I'm laying out a print book which will also be converted to an ebook using InDesign's convert to EPUB feature.
I need to make several websites listed in the resource section live links.
Question:
Do I need to include http://www in the website citations in order for the links to be live in the ebook version?
What do I need to do to insure that the links will be live in the ebook?
Thanks in advance,
Diane

Hmmm, I just saw on Adobe TV that you could create a link with the hyperlinks panel and put the whole url, including the http:// in the url field of that panel and leave the wording unencumbered in the book itself. I was hoping to not have all those http:// s in the listing of websites in the acutal book.
I want to have it look like this www.blablabla.com
and not like this http://www.blablabla.com
Can someone tell me if this is indeed possible?

Newer version does not have the same interface. I'm stuck trying to understand how to add a "blank" target to a hyperlink... See how your screenshot has a dropdown associated with the "Hyperlink" object? Mine doesn't...

How can I make sure linked in contacts are only added once?

For some reason the linkedin contacts are appearing endlessly in my mac address book. Every time I delete they come back - Very annoying especially since I have to delete folders manually one by one. How can I make sure linked in contacts only added once? And how can I delete from mac address book in one go?

If you installed software from LinkedIn to synchronize the contacts, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, how did you import the contacts?

How do I make relative link in a pdf

How can I make a relative link in a pdf file, so that I can put the pdf file and the files on a usb memory stick and send it out to our costumers. I use Acrobat XI Pro. I can´t possibly be the only person with that problem, so please, somebody help me with a solution.

Thank you for your answer, but I have already tried that, I did all the work with links in the pdf to jpg´s in a folder (and there are a lot of links), and put it all on a usb memory stick, gave it to one of our costumers for testing and it didn´t work, it keeps referring to our server. I had a similar project in Excell, where I had to link the text in Excell to a product related file, after that I put it on a memory stick, and that worked without any problems, but off course Excell is a whole other world. I just think that it shouldn´t be so complicated in Acrobat, so I´m hoping you have a different solution ;-)

How do I make a link found in a .pdf file open in Firefox?

When I have a .pdf file open in Adobe Reader, the link opens in Google Chrome. How do I make it open in Firefox?

Use Firefox as your default browser.

I'm trying to open a folder found in a department drive that i have full access to via a link on a website but nothing happens. How do I make the link work?

The link connects to my G drive and it should open up a folder for me to store things on my hard drive. This works on IE although I usually use firefox at home so I changed my browser at work. Can you tell me how to make these links work so that i can use a website online that will connect to my offline folders?
Would appreciate it very much.

Please update to Firefox 20.0.1 immediately, before continuing using the Internet. Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and has critical security flaws.

How can I make a link in a AccordionTab?

Hi,
This is my website:
www.student.tue.nl/V/b.a.t.moor
As you can see the basis for my website is a Spry Accordion.
The words with a large font-size are the first navigationlevel. The
smaller words in the Tabs are the secondaire navigationlevel. Now I
want to make it this way that when you click on a single word (for
example: first ideas), you will enter a new page. So it has to link
to another document (i.e. firstideas.html)
Is this possible? If so, how can I make this?

Problem is that its a tab menu. The very nature of the
javascript that
drives it is to open that tab anywhere where the mouse clicks
along its
length. As the links are also in the tab it just ignores
these and opens
the tab.
Can you not move the links to within the sub-section of the
tab, that's
how things usually work with a tabbed menu.
I'm sure its not impossible to achieve what you want but it
might be
beyond your capabilities. It certainly looks as though you
would need to
alter the code substantially and maybe re-write the
javascript to make
it conform.

How can I make a link to EBS from BIEE 11g?

Hello, I have some trouble with BIEE.
I tried to make a link to EBS from BIEE using Action, but it doesn't work.
I read manual and set as it is written, but when I click the link I got
message which says that "Oracle eBusiness Suite Server cannot be used now.
Please try it again.
If it won't be solved, contact to support desk".
I tried to edit xml files in many ways, but it doesn't work...
The document and posts about making link to EBS from BIEE 10g can be
often found on internet but not about 11g.
If anyone knows about this solution, please help me.
Yuchi

Hi Daan,
Thank you for your reply!
I construct the link by looking the document provided by Oracle.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e16364/ebs_actions.htm#CJAFDEIB
In this document I followed the step to make database object and connection pool, set up
authentication and modify xml files. Then I thought I could use BI Action Navigate to EBS,
but it didn't work, then I asked coworkers and I've told to do "5.3 Embedding Links to Oracle Business Intelligence in Oracle E-Business Suite" in this document.
At first I thought I need not do this setting because I would like to make action navigate from BI to EBS,
not from EBS to BI.
Although I managed to embed link to BI in EBS, it still doen't work.(but the connection from EBS to BI was successful)
And I tried to verify BI and EBS are in same domain, but I have no idea how to verify.
Could you please give me the way to check it?
Sincerely,
Yuchi

How can I make a link or icon to a document on my iPad?

I would like to create a bookmark icon on my iPad to a document I create. I can email my documents to myself without any problem or make a link from dropbox, but I would like to be able to make a link that I can open on my iPad without being online. For instance, I can e-mail a document to myself and then open it in different apps, but I am not given a choice of creating a link or bookmark icon on my iPad to get to that document quickly for when I don't have Internet access.

If you open the document in Adobe Reader, then Adobe Reader will keep a copy of the file. You can later launch Reader and open it from there while offline.

How do you make a link in a .pdf file? (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Dear Adobe Acrobat Forum,
I would like to add a link to my .pdf file.
Once clicked on, I would like the link to send the user to another place in the same .pdf file
or open a separate .pdf file.
I've tried to resolve this on my own by going to both Acrobat help section and the InDesign help section as well as Googling "Acrobat 8 link" or something similar.......but to no avail.
So, can you please tell me how I can add a link to a .pdf file?
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have been creating .pdf files using the File > Export feature in Adobe InDesign CS3 (for the Mac).
Thanks!

Have you tried in Acrobat 8 to:
Choose Link tool.
Then choose as shown on as on this Graphic
Then when clicking next you should be greeted with this:
Choose open a file or open a weblink depending upon what you want to do.
You try some of the other choices. once you select what to do save as a copy and try. If This one doesn't work try some of the other choices in the first graphic. other panes will open up similar to second graphic except there will be other choices.

How do I make relative links in Acrobat pdf 10

Hi there,
I have a pdf file with sounds attached and would like to make these links relative instead of absolute so the document can be sent to
others and still work.
Is there a way to do this in acrobat 10

How do i make multiple links change 1 Div?

I'm not sure how to go about explaining this but ill try.
i have a my main nav bar on top with my links to pages i go to a page say "products" on the products page theyre 8 links on the side and a big DIV space to the right that i would like to change with each click on its respectable link. can i just make the big Content DIV change? or do i have to make a page for each link. sorry if that vague if you have any questions just ask me thanks.

Hi
Sorry if I put you off but it is not as complicated as it may appear from the tutorials. As an example once you have your pages created and using jQuery, to place the content into your 'existing page you would use the following code -
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
//<![CDATA[          // new code
// When the document loads do everything inside here ...
$(document).ready(function(){
                        $('.menu a').click(function(event) { //start function when any link is clicked
                        event.preventDefault();
                        var content_show = $(this).attr('href'); //retrieve title of link so we can compare with file
                            $.ajax({
                            method: 'get',url: content_show,
                            error: function(){
                            $('#detailcontent').html('<h3>Error loading document!</h3>');
                           success: function(){ //so, if data is retrieved, store it in html
                           //$("#detailcontent").html("Your item no is - " +content_show); //reinsert for testing
                           $("#detailcontent").load(content_show + ' ' + '#detailcontent'); //show the html inside detailcontent div
          }); //close click(
     }); //close $(
//]]>
</script>
This would insert the content from a div with an id of detailcontent in your 'link' page and place it into your 'current' pages div with the same name.

How can I make the links work when the site is published.

I am a new iWeb user and have built the website www.realmoroccotours.com and am having a few problems that I hope someone can help me with.
First - in Iweb everything works fine but when it is published the links in the top and bottom menu do not work. If I clic on the link before the page is fully loaded it odes work. My host gave me the following information but I have no idea what it means or how to fix it. I have rebuilt the whole site but still the same thing happens.
+> One of your javascript files that you have installed in the header of the main+
+> page is blocking the screen with transparent image preventing links from+
+> clicking. Please remove conflicting javascript and reload that page again.+
Secondly, the site loads very slowly - although not all the time. Any suggestions on how to make it faster loading would be appreciated.

All it means is that the image is blocking the navigation menu/overlapping - all you need to do is move it out of the way and the menu should work. Do a view all in iWeb and you can then see what is overlapping and what you need to move.
You could also build your own nav menu if you like so that your site will be found more easily - javascript, which the iWeb menu is, is not always found that easily. You don't need to re-build the whole site - just the nav menu.
If you want to speed up your site, then you could try using Web Crusher or iWeb Maestro to speed it up - you need to do this post publishing though, so publish to a local folder and then run it through either of these to get rid of the bloated code that iWeb creates and then upload your site.

How can I make open link in new tab cause tabs to the new tab's left to shift left rather than tabs to the new tabs right to shift right?

When I follow a link in a new tab, the tab opens to the right of the current tab as expected. To make room for the tab on the tab bar, any tabs to the right of the current tab shift right. If there is room for all the tabs on the bar, this behavior is perfect. If however, there isn't sufficient room, some tabs must be hidden to the right or the left of the visible bar. Currently the rightmost visible tab is hidden. This behavior is suboptimal for me because I very often want to switch to tabs on the far right while I very seldom want to switch to tabs on the far left. Is there is a way to cause tabs to the left of the new tab to shift left thereby hiding the leftmost visible tab? Thanks

I'm not aware of a way to make Firefox hide the first tab instead of the last tab; maybe there is an add-on with that feature.
There is a hidden setting to open the new tab at the end of the bar instead of next to the page you're reading. Then, of course, you won't have this problem. Instead, you'll have the problem that it's hard to figure out which tab had that link in it. In case you want to try it out, here's how.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false (it should turn bold)
You're done here. You can keep it open in case you hate the change and watch to switch it right back. In that case, double-click again to switch it back to true.
