4.0RC2

I have a multi-slide header. I'd like to add HTML so that each slide has a "Learn More..." type hyperlink, but can't figure out how to give each slide it's own hyperlink. I tried using text-shapes, but when I right-click on a shape and click "Edit Source HTML" nothing happens.

1) How does one add arbitrary HTML to text-shapes?
2) How does one attach a hyperlink to each slide?

You can't do what you want within Artisteer, which makes the slideshows almost useless.

I've done it this way:

This first link is with the slider.
http://demo.artisteertoday.com/art4demoheader/

The second link is with shapes:

For whatever reason, under some circumstances the dialog that's supposed to pop up to allow you to insert HTML (presumably that's how you'd enter in link code) just doesn't work...I've reported it as a bug to Artisteer support.

I am known to edit the html outside of artisteer. I use notepad++
I also use a bit of CSS. I create a box, size it and position it so that the link is available through out the entire image. This is similar to and image map.

In the shapes demo you can see the boxes are different size and positions.

If you need additional help let me know.

Hi jrgweb,

I see your examples and the code of <a id="box-link" href=http://google.com"> but I am still a bit unclear as to how to achieve this.

I'm with Bob in that when you right-click "edit html source" nothing pops up to allow you to edit the html. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Nevermind,

I got it to work using the shapes. I was importing an old Artisteer template version 3.1 and that was the issue. I created a new template from scratch and was able to link away.
