Hyperlink Protocol #

Freeway

In a reply to a request for help with Scripty lightbox, Delta Dave
posted the following:

…
Once you have created the SL effect by applying the action and then
attached the Graphic Link to File.

Select your thumbnail and Edit>Hyperlink

Choose External from the options. Protocol: Other and type a # Hash
(option + 3)

Then in the Title box below type in the text you want to appear.

OK dialogues and test!
…

He said option + 3 but I think he meant shift + 3

Anyway, what is the Protocol named # ???

I can’t find any reference to this in the FW Docs, or on my favorite
HTML site http://www.w3schools.com/
I must be overlooking something somewhere. Or is this an undocumented
trick to fool FW ?
This technique solves a problem I have had with using Fancy Zoom, i.e.
getting a title on the zoomed picture when using the Graphic Link to
File action.

I would appreciate help understanding the Protocol #

Thanks,
LLE

I think you’ll find he means press the number ‘3’ key, while holding down the ‘alt’ key.

That will give you hash sign #

On US keyboards Shift+3 does give you the hash sign, while Option+3 gives you the £ pound.

You can of course copy and paste from here #.

I am using a British keyboard setup so International users mileage may vary!

Sorry, I should have said that I was also using a UK keyboard.
