Re: Hyperlinks

For some reason Microsoft decided to disable the right click, save picture
option with Pub 2003 webpages. Your easiest workaround is to upload the
images that you want to make available to download to your new images
folder, and then provide a link to them, and instruct people to use the
right click option to save them after they load in the browser. When you
right click an image that loads independently from your Publisher page, you
do have the option of saving that file.

If you don't want to duplicate the images, then you could also just adapt
the code snippet to import your images into your page, rather than embed
them, and provide a link to those images. If you size and optimize your
images before you upload them, and use the insert html code fragment to
import them, you will also find that the images look better in FF. This is
because you are bypassing the coding engine in Publisher which makes copies
of the images, and provides a lower quality image for FF.

Hope that is clear...

Great! Thanks again as always! Nice description on saving files to another
folder on the same root level as my index.htm & index_file. I believe I
read
a similar fix somewhere else on this board, but did not understand the
directions...

I will give this a shot and thanks for the ALT text. I went through and
labeled each picture only to realize that on mouseover it just said
"picture"
and not the description. That will be a nice addition to either describe
the
pic or instruct on what to do.

The next issue I'll tackle is Pub's issue with allowing users to dL pics
and
other content. I believe I read something somewhere here, but I'll get to
that when the time comes. As always, one thing at a time :-)

Thanks again!

Dave

Dave,

You are almost there. You need to import the image rather than embed it
in
the Pub page. Using your code snippet:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="http://snipesfamily.net/index_files/image9471.jpg"/></a>

First create a subfolder on your site called "images", at the same root
level as your index.htm file and the index_files folder.

Second, take your original image, which I assume is "BD_01.jpg", and
resize
it to the size you want to display on your page using a third party image
editing program, and then upload it to your new "images" folder.

Now use this code snippet:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="http://snipesfamily.net/images/BD_01.jpg";></a>

Note that you do not use a forward slash after the image file name, and
be
sure to size the code fragment box the same size as the image. Though it
should not make any difference, another poster had problems using the
underscore in a file name, so if you have problems, use BD01.jpg .

If you don't have an image editing program, let me know. I can suggest a
freebie such as irfanview or there is a workaround, but it would be
better
if you optimize the image in a third party program.

And though you did not ask for it, you can also add the ALT tag if you
want.
Here is an example:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="http://snipesfamily.net/images/BD_01.jpg"; ALT="Whatever text you
want
to add"></a>

If you use this code snippet, and mouseover the image, you will see
"Whatever text you want to add" . You could change the text to say,
"click
here for a larger image"...or add some other description of your choice.

Good luck.

Hi David:

Thanks for the quick response and feedback on my site. Just like every
other
web surfer, my family members have short attentions spans so I've gotta
grab
their attention :-)

I've encountered a problem with trying to link my pictures to a new
window.
Using the link posted above I understand the code:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD01_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="C:\Documents and Settings\snipes_d\Desktop\MS
Publisher\Pictures\Daddy\BD_01.jpg"/></a>

Simple enough, the link points to a webpage and the IMG points to an
image
on my C: drive that serves as the place holder for the hyperlink.
However,
looking over David's fragment I came up with this:

<a target="_display"
href="http://www.snipesfamily.net/index_files/BD_HL.htm";><IMG
SRC="http://snipesfamily.net/index_files/image9471.jpg"/></a>

Again, the link is pointing to the same webpage (e.g. larger picture),
and
the image to be shown on the webpage is sourced from a file on my
website.
I
hope this is clear thus far...

The problem I've run into is that when I publish my site, Pub renames
all
of
my files so I can't add the specific address (e.g.
.../index_files/R_D01)
to
my fragment. because the name changes to something like - image1234.
I've
tried publishing, grabing the file name, adding to frag address, and
then
republishing but Pub reassigns it another name - d'Oh!

The long and the short: how do I point to a specific image that serves
as
a
place holder for a link when I don't know what the name will be since
the
name is changed when I publish (obstensively changing the web address
name)?
I'm haunted from past posters describing how their links point to their
C:
drive and not the website and I don't want to follow suit...

Thanks again!

Dave

Thanks, Dave the 'puter guy! Sometimes I just don't have enough time
to
answer in detail, and David Bartosik's material usually leads to
either
an
answer, or a better asked question. And then there are sometimes, I
just
don't know how to help people, especially with uploading issues. That
is
really hard to troubleshoot without sitting in front of a computer.
Anyway,
thanks...and good work on your site...creative and entertaining.

Thanks David! This was exceedingly helpful! Usually your links point
to
a
generic webpage (e.g. /30 or /33) and I usually find myself going in
circles
to find the answer; and sometimes I don't. This particular link was
direct
and with a little troubleshooting, I was able to solve my issue in
less
than
5 minutes.

I've posted a couple questions now and between the two David's
responses
and
reading other posts, I've been able to set up a nice webpage:

http://www.snipesfamily.net

I'm still working on layout (e.g. picture size, links, navigation,
etc.)
but
it's coming along well.

Thanks again!

Dave

I have created hyperlinks and when I click on the link it takes
you
to
that
page and takes the viewer away from the website. However, I
would
rather
the link open up a new window so that a person will still have my
website
open.
