Trouble Creating Hyperlinks

I have tried following the directions in the manual for creating links and I feel like I'm missing something. When I have typed the words for the link, I highlight and click on enable as a hyperlink. When I do, the box is checked but the drop down menu stays faded.
I didn't have much luck with having photos serve as hyperlinks either.
Thanks for your thoughts/tips!

When I have typed the words for the link,

I do, the box is checked but the drop down menu stays
faded.
That's a new one! My experience has been that once you can check the box to 'Enable as a hyperlink' the dropdown is also available. All I've ever seen is either greyed out (unavailable) or active (box checkable, dropdown menu available).
I didn't have much luck with having photos serve as hyperlinks either.
In this case, was the check box checkable, or was 'Enable as a hyperlink' greyed out? Perhaps you were trying to create links using photos in the photo grid on a Photos page? This is not possible.

  • Unable to create hyperlinks

    I am using iWeb 1.1.2 and had no trouble creating hyperlinks in 1.0, but now cannot. When an object or text is selected enable hyperlink checkbox and menu remain shaded. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone solved it?

    I think I may have solved this problem. I was having the same issue intermittently. In order to bypass this issue, I simply selected the text or item that was going to serve as the click-able link, then from the INSERT menu, selected Hyperlink and chose the appropriate sub-item. This has worked for me so far. Hope it helps you.

    Hi,
    I am using Webi rich clinet XI R3.1. I have one main report with six dashboards and associated detailed reports. I created hyperlink for each of the dashboard and linked to detailed report in infoview.
    If i need to see main report i've to close this detailed report.Now how can i make the detailed report open in same window and navigate forward and backward to the main report instead of closing.
    I would appreciate if some one could provide any work around available if possible atleast.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Create two links one Back and one Next in each report.
    Drag two free standing cells in the report and use opendocument syntax to create the links.
    The thread Re: Hyperlink Back functionality may give an idea.

    Hello,      I am having trouble creating pie chart. I am calculating different count values from different data providers. Now I need to create a pie chart showing the proportion for each count as I can find the percentage of count.
    My scenario(task):I need count on persons depending on searching on complaint text. So for each search I have a data providers. Like this I am searching for 8 criteria. So I have different data providers for each search. I get person counts from each criteria.
    Now I want to show it in a pie chart. But I could not make it done.Does anyone faced a similar problem? How do I solve my problem?

    Hi ujain82,
    Because you have some data provider,so some metric may have no conjunction,i suggest that you creat variables to reuse them.

  • How to create hyperlinks in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Hi everyone,
    Is there a way to create hyperlinks from within Acrobat 9 Pro? If so, can you let me know how? I am having a hard time finding out how to do so.
    Thank you in advance for your help:)
    Christine

    I did this from the advanced menu to make all hyperlinks work. All I got were boxes around my links that are not clikcable to the web page.
    Now I cannot undo this.

  • How to automatically create hyperlink destinations based on numbered list?

    I am very new to InDesign and am creating a template for an academic journal. Each article contains a list of references at the end and the references are cited in the main text (like what you see in Wikipedia if you are not familiar with scientfic journal articles). In exported HTML, the citation in the main text should be hyperlinked to the coressponding reference in the reference list. I have two questions:
    1) It is possible to ask paragraphy style to assign each numbered item a hyperlink destination? If this is possible, I can then manually inserted hyperlinks in the main text.
    2) one step further, is there any way (e.g. script) which can then insert hyperlink to those destinations based on pattern match? For example, in main text, the citation to reference #1 appear in the text as [1] which should be hyperlinked to reference #1.
    One more question, is there anyone who knows how academic journals handle the flow from InDesign to html? Certainly, the exported html cannot go directly online without further editing.
    Thank you.

    Hi Eric,
    I posted the script here. But it should be adjusted to your particular document. (Anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do this). I am sure it won’t work as it is. I assume that “comments” and “references” are in two different stories.
    Can I have the scripts from you (for a fee or free)?
    I don't sell my scripts: they're free.
    Can the scripts handle the pattens like these [3], [1-5], [3,4], [6, 8, 11-13]?
    This script can't, but another handles both single page numbers and page ranges like so:
    I can post it as well.
    Now I’d like to make one thing clear:
    I made a set of scripts for creating hyperlinks in InDesign documents for further exporting them to ePub/HTML. I can’t make a script that would work for everyone because all books are very different. I simply adjusted scripts for every book I had to work with (mainly changing GREP expressions and names of styles) and I have numerous variations of scripts. I can post them if someone is interested but you should be aware that they have to be reworked.

  • My customer wants to create hyperlinks in the editor - surely this is possible?  And, if so, how?

    My customer simply wants to create hyperlinks when adding content to her site; this doesn't seem possible within the Muse editing interface.  It must be, surely?  That's the most basic thing to do with a web page. 

    At current stage In browser editing does not includes hyperlinks , but that’s definitely a request we hear often. Unfortunately we can’t comment on what features are coming to Adobe Muse, but please know the team is listening!

  • Problem in create Hyperlink

    Hi All,
    I create hyperlink by finding http and www in my active document.                //Works well
    But the problem is, if the url or websites contents coming twice or above then I found error   //not able to create hyperlink source with the same name
    i.e., www.gmail.com (comes 2 or more time in the document, then the below code is not working fine)
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

    I solved this problem by adding an incrementing number in round brackets if a hyperlink name is already taken.
    Another (simpler) solution is to put "add hyperlink" line into try-catch block, but in this case you'll have a default name if the error occurs.
    Here's the function:
    function MakeHyperlink(text, url) {
        if (url.match(/https?:\/\//) == null) {
            url = "http://" + url;
        url = url.replace(/\.$/, "");
        var name = text.contents;
        var oriName = name;
        if (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
            var increment = 1;
            while (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
                name = oriName + " (" + increment++ + ")";
        try {
            var dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.itemByName(name);
            if (!dest.isValid) {
                dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(url , {hidden: true});
            var source = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(text);
            var hyperlink = doc.hyperlinks.add(source, dest, {highlight: HyperlinkAppearanceHighlight.NONE, visible: false});
            try {
                hyperlink.name = name;
            catch(err) {
                //$.writeln(err.message + ", line: " + err.line);
            if (hyperlink.isValid) {
                hypCount++;
                if (set.tempColors) source.sourceText.fillColor = swatchOK;
                if (set.charStyle) source.appliedCharacterStyle = charStyle;
        catch(err) {
            errorsCount++;
            var swatchProblem = MakeSwatch("===== PROBLEM =====", {
                model : ColorModel.PROCESS,
                space : ColorSpace.RGB,
                colorValue : [255, 0, 0]
            text.fillColor = swatchProblem;
            //$.writeln("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);
            arr.push("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);       

  • Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I am having trouble creating a form in Dreamweaver for my website.  The form is fairly basic, just some contact/comment input required.
    I created my webpages using Fireworks CS4 and exported them as HTML and Images.  The basic format of my website is to have a rectangular block in the middle of the page, where the form elements are supposed to be entered.  However, it seems that I cannot simply add a textbox or textarea to the middle of my page.  If I try, everything gets shifted around very strangely.
    How can I leave the format of the page intact, but add in the form elements (name, email, comments)?
    You can see the page here: http://www.wafflesnjoe.com/preview/contact.htm
    Thank you

    Thanks Murray, I had a feeling that that's where I'd be headed.
    Is there a more seamless way of transferring webpages from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, such as CSS and Images, that would make it easier for me to work in Dreamweaver?
    Would you recommend building websites in Dreamweaver, and not bother with Fireworks?
    Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a newbie.

    Subject: Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver
    I'm not very familiar with Dreamweaver, so this may be a basic question to ask.
    The trick is to be familiar with HTML, not DW, since HTML underlies everything that DW does, and that you want to do on a web page.
    To add a form to a page without disrupting the layout of the page, you have to a) select a layout design that constitutes good practice, and b) build the layout so that it accommodates the form.  I know that's not a very satisfactory answer.
    First of all, unless you are fairly familiar with HTML, your layout will not be easy to implement because you will need to constrain the form and its elements to fit vertically within that central area.  This is not so easy because you have no way of controlling how large or small I (as a visitor) am displaying my text in my browser.  Thus, that form's content is going to expand or contract vertically causing the boxed area to need to expand or contract accordingly.  This is layout 101 for an experienced developer, but may just push you over the edge if you have no HTML under your belt.  So, I would discourage you from trying to use this design.  Is that possible?

  • Trouble creating a MobileMe Gallery with Aperture

    I'm having trouble creating a MobileMe Gallery from within Aperture. In the past it work flawlessly but now it isn't working at all. This is what happens: I create a gallery from within Aperture by clicking on either "New/MobileMe Album, or "New From Selection/MobileMe Album." The gallery is made and appears in Aperture. However, when I visit the MobileMe site the Gallery doesn't contain any images. When I sync it again the gallery disappears from within Aperture all together.
    Any ideas?

    I resolved my problem by rebuilding the Aperture Library from the Aperture Vault. Apparently, and this makes sense, Aperture can't build a Gallery if the photo version, or photo itself is missing. I think the reason why it appeared visible is because the Preview file was embedded...

  • Garbled text when creating hyperlinks

    I have a user who is creating hyperlinks in the Table of Contents of a 500 page PDF to pages within the PDF. After 10-15 hyperlinks, she gets strange characters and garbled text on some of the pages. If she saves and closes the document and reopens, she can go back to working but it will reoccur soon again. She is using Acrobat 9 Professional on Windows 7 Enterprise. She has the latest updates for Acrobat. Any thoughts?
    thanks

    Most of the document was converted from Microsoft Excel 2007 documents. The Table of Contents was converted from Microsoft Word 2007 document.
