[Pro] is this possible (link question)...

Hi all,

Here is a little question.

I have some HTML text in a table that is hyperlinked externally to a .pdf document.
Is there a way to NOT have the hypelrink active, but still have it hyperlinked so I can use it later?

Here is the reason… I have a place on my website that says like “FINAL exam” I want to get it hyperlinked ready now, but not able to be actively able to be clicked on now, until I make it clickable later.

If I remove the hyperlink, which will do the job, then later, I have to find the file and go through the small process of hyperlinking it.

I was hoping to set it up now and kinda “hide” the fact that it is hyperlinked so the students cannot see the attachement yet.

Hope this makes sense. if it cannot be done, I’ll just set up the HTML text and unlink it now and link it later.

Thanks!

Barry

Hi Barry -

Why not put a copy of your hyperlinked table on an extra page, then
de-linking the version on your active page. With no internal page links to
the extra page, no one can see it. Then when you’re ready, simply swap the
working table with the linked table.

Cool idea. Its actually not the entire table just 1 or 2 links. Now that I think about it maybe I can use your idea but instead of another page maybe i can put the working one on th pasteboard? Hopefully it will not show.

If a layered item put on the pasteboard and deselect the Publish checkbox.

If not layered then placing on the pasteboard is enough.

Because it was HTML text in a table, I could not just copy the HTML text and paste on pasteboard. so I created an HTML box and copied the HTML text from the table, and pasted it into the HTML box on the pasteboard.

I then removed the hyperlink for now in the table. Then later I can just copy and paste from the HTML box on the PB.

:slight_smile:

thanks guys!!

Why not just duplicate the whole table!
