How to make a button

A button can be used as a practical way to redirect the visitors to another page or website, to an anchor a page etc.

 

You can make two different kinds of buttons

• With text
• Use a picture as button

 

You can also creato your own picture of a button, insert it in the text-editor modus and make a link from it to any site, page or file.

 

 

How to make a button with text on it

 

Click the orange 'Insert arrow' and select 'Button':

 

 

 

This dialogue-box will appear on the screen:

 

 

In this dialogue-box you can select various kinds of button-types. This one will bring you one step backwards. You can (as you can see in the picture) put any meaningful or misleading text on the button. Think carefully before deciding what you want to write.

 

Is the text on this button meaningful?

Maybe and maybe not. It depends where I came from. IF I came form the frontpage to this page, THEN it is OK. If however, I came form ANY other page, it is misleading. In that case maybe the text 'Back' would have been better.

 

Under 'Button properties' you can choose different behaviours for the button. Experiment with them and see what happens.

 

The result of the above will look like this:

 

 

(This button does not work here,

it is just a picture of a button)

 

How to make a picture as a button

It is basically the same procedure as making a button with text that you have to run through.

Instead of letting the system create a button you, you have to, on beforehand, have selected a picture (photo / graphics) that you want to make a button out of. The picture is selected in the dialogue-box shown above (you have either placed the picture in a picture archive or on your computer). The functionality is exactly the same as for a text-button.
