Set interactive button properties
You
can control the following interactive elements of a button:
- Active area
- The active area triggers interactivity when a user moves
the pointer over it or clicks it in a web browser. The active area
of a button is a symbol-level property and is unique to button symbols.
Select Active Area from the pop-up menu to edit a button slice or
draw hotspot objects. If you draw a new slice, the new slice replaces
the previous slice.
- URL for a button symbol or instance
- The URL can be a symbol- or instance-level button property.
It links the button to another web page, website, or anchor on the
same web page. You can attach a URL to a selected button instance
in the Property inspector or in the URL panel.
- Button target
- The
button target is the window or frame in which the destination web
page appears when a button instance is clicked. If you don't enter
a target in the Property inspector, the web page appears in the
same frame or window as the link that called it. The target can
be a symbol- or instance-level button property. You can set the
target for a symbol, so that all instances of the symbol have the
same target option.
- Alternate (alt) text for a button symbol or instance
- Alternate
(alt) text appears on or near an image placeholder while an image
is downloading or in place of an image if it fails to download.
It also replaces graphics if the user has the browser set to refrain
from displaying images. Alt text can be a symbol- or instance-level
button property.
