4.5 Modifying a Link

At some point, you may need to change or edit a link. Perhaps the URL you were
linking to has changed, or you simply no longer need that link.

4.5.1 Changing a link's destination

As you'll read in Part IV, Dreamweaver provides some amazing tools for automatically
updating your links so that your site stays in working order, even if you move files
around your site. But even Dreamweaver isn't smart enough to know when a page on someone else's Web site is moved or deleted. And you may decide you simply need to
change a link so that it points to a different page on your own site. In both of these
cases, you'll need to change the links on your Web pages by hand.

You can use the Property
inspector's Point-to-File icon to
link to a named anchor on a
page. Simply select some text
or an image in an open page.
Then drag the Point-to-File
icon to an anchor on any other
open document to set the link.
If you can't see the shield icons
that mark anchors, see above
for instructions on how to
make them visible.

Select the text link or picture link.

The existing link path appears in the Link field in the Property inspector.

Use any of the techniques described on Section 4.2 for specifying the link's target.

For example, click the Browse-for-File button in the Property inspector and locate
a different Web page in your site. The destination of the link changes to the new
URL, path, or anchor.

4.5.2 Removing a link

Sometimes, you want to stop a link from linkingwhen the Web page you were linking
to no longer exists, for example. You want the text or image on your Web page to
stay the same, but you want to remove the disabled link. In that case, just select the
link text or image, and then use one of these tactics:

Choose ModifyRemove Link, or press Ctrl+Shift+L (Shift--L).

Delete the text in the Link field of the Property inspector and press the Enter or
Return key.

The text or image remains on your Web page, but it no longer links to anything. If
it's a text link, the color changes from your site's link color (see the box below) to the
normal text color for the page.

Of course, if you're feeling particularly destructive, you can also delete the link text
or image itself; doing so also gets rid of the link.
