Adding a Link Bar Based on Navigation Structure to a
FrontPage-based
Web Site
This article describes how to add a link bar to your either FrontPage-based
or a Windows SharePoint Services-based site that is created
from the navigation structure of your site. You can insert a link bar on any page in your site
or in a Dynamic Web Template (DWT), a new feature in FrontPage 2003, and the hyperlinks
for up and parent pages are automatically updated depending on where that page
is located in the Web site.
To create a link bar with back and next links in your FrontPage-based Web site, open the site with
FrontPage 2003 and do the following:
- Double-click on the page you want to insert the link
bar into in the Folder List to open it for editing.
- Make sure that this page is part of the navigation structure of the site.
You can do this in the Navigation View (select Navigation from
the View menu) by clicking and dragging the page from the Folder
List and placing it next to the pages you want to chain this page with.
The graphic below shows how pages look in Navigation View. Be
sure to note the name of the link bar your page is located under because you
will need it later.
- Select Page from the View menu, so you can
edit the page, position your cursor where you want the link bar to be, and
then click.
- Select Navigation from the Insert menu
to bring up the Insert Web Component dialog box. Click Bar with
back and next links from the Choose a bar type window and then click Next.
- Choose a link bar style by clicking on it and then click the Next button.
- Choose either the Horizontal or Vertical orientation for the
link bar, and then click Finish. The Link Bar Properties dialog box then
opens.
- Choose the name of the Link Bar your page is located under from the
Choose existing drop-down menu, and then click OK.
Tip: If you want to change the style of the link bar, you can click the
Style tab on the Link Bar Properties dialog box to change the
buttons or horizontal or vertical orientation.
