468 Web Graphics and Websites

Click the SETTINGS button next to this option to go to the IMAGE TAB, where you can set
the size of the pop-up photo, add a title and caption, and choose from many other
options. See the Image tab section below (on page 476) for details. Selecting the pop-up
photo option on this Link tab, also selects the pop-up photo checkbox on the Image tab –
both turn on the same pop-up behavior.
Use common website link colors

This option lets you choose how the selected text link should be displayed. It is selected
by default, meaning that the text link will show with the link color you have defined for the
whole website. You can set this color on the Website tab (see Website Tab (on page
469) section).

If you uncheck this option, then the selected text link will keep the color that you give it on
the page. So you can give different links different colors if desired.

Open link in
This option does nothing if either of the “Pop-up layer” or “Pop-up photo” link options are
selected. But for other links it allows you to tell the web browser how the target web page
should be loaded. By default it is set to “Not specified” which usually means the browser
will open the link in the same browser window and frame as the link.

The dropdown list contains four options that cause the browser to do special things. You
can select one of these options, or type in the name of a frame:

NEW WINDOW OR TAB (_BLANK) Open the link in a new browser window.

SAME FRAME (_SELF) Open the link in this frame (the frame that contains this object).
PARENT FRAME (_PARENT) Open the link into the parent window or frameset that contains
this frame.

SAME WINDOW (_TOP) Open the link into the main browser window, replacing any existing
frames.

If you want the link to be loaded into a specific frame in the browser, type the name of the
frame in this field.

Nofollow links
You can find this option within the dialog Web Properties > Link dialog. When a link is set
to Nofollow, it tells search engines that encounter the link not to follow it for ranking and
indexing purposes, for example if you link to another website outside of your domain.

Exactly how search engines use this information varies with each search engine and may
change in the future.
