To create an ALink in a topic that links to a target file
- Open the HTML file you want to link from, and then position your cursor at the location where you want to create an Associative link (ALink).
- Click .
- In the Specify the command box, click ALink Search, and then choose the appropriate display type and button options.
- In the Related Topics dialog box, specify the ALink names you want to jump to.
- For more information about ALinks, see the HTML Help ActiveX control reference.
Notes
- You must add ALink names to the appropriate target topics before the ALink will work.
- Adding an ALink to an HTML file adds an
<OBJECT>
tag to your file. This allows you to link to any other files that contain the ALink names you specify. When a user clicks the ALink, any topics that contain the ALink names you have specified will appear.
- You can test ALinks in compiled help files.
