How do I add just a link to the menu without having to add a page ?



User: Peter B. 12 years ago
HI,

The current menu structure automatically inserts a link tot he page when it is added to the site.
Great, but now I find myself needing to add a link to a subdomain. The subdomain is not under control of the everweb layout.

So thus far I tried to just add a simple textbox and make that a link. Although this looks ok in Safari, chrome etc, good old IE "F's it up and changes the width of the menubar in such a way that certain items on the menubar fall behind the separate text-box-link.

So to prevent this from happening, it would be nice of it were possible to add a link to the menu without having to add a page.
Is there any other viable way to do this ?

You can do this by creating an empty page or directory and adding a meta refresh. See this page for more info about a meta refresh.

The code is added to the head code box of the blank page. Use a relative or absolute URL depending on where the target files are located with zero delay like this…

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://domain-name.com/page.html" />

Roddy, thanks for this info. Been trying to figure out how to do that, it works great. But, to take it a bit further, is there any way to get that external menu link to open in a new window?

Not that I know of.
If you want to do that sort of thing you would be better off setting up a custom menu on a master page so that you can access the HTML to add the target to the link.
