TitleFor a professional looking Web page, you should always include a title. The title will appear in the browser's title bar when the user is visiting your Web page. If you do not specify a title, the browser's title bar will show the URL of your Web page. (For example: "www.yourco.com/yourdirectory/yourpage.htm".)
Background Image or Background ColorA Web page can have either a background image (which is repeated all the way across and down the entire width and length of the Web page) or a solid background color of your choosing. If you choose neither, the Web page will have a gray background.
  • To assign a background image, type the image file name and path in the Background Image field. Or, click the Browse button to select an image.
  • To assign a background color, click the Pick button to select a color from the Color Pallet box. The color you have selected appears in the color box to the left, and the hexadecimal number that is used in the HTML to identify that color appears in the "Value" field.

  • Text Color (color of regular text on the page)
  • Link Color (color of text that is hyperlinked to another Web page; an anchor on the current page; or an email address. Includes color of underline beneath linked text.)
  • Visited Link Color (color of link and underline that goes to a page the user has already visited)
  • Active Link Color (color of link and underline while the user is clicking on it)
To assign any of these colors, click the associated Pick button to select a color from the Color Pallet box. The color you have selected appears in the color box to the left, and the hexadecimal number that is used in the HTML to identify that color appears in the "Value" field.
Base URLThis optional field is where you can specify the full URL of this Web page. Used in case the page is read out of context and the user wants to refer to the original.
If the Web page is in an Internet Explorer preview window, you have an additional option:
Background SoundFor a special effect, you can add sound to your Web page, as follows. Sound will only play when the page is viewed in the Internet Explorer browser.
  • Sound # - If you have added one or more sounds to the Web page, this field displays the sound number of the currently shown file name.Sounds will be played in the order of their sound number. You can also select a sound that has previously been added by typing its number here or clicking the up or down arrow.
  • File name - Type the file name (and path if the sound file is not in the same directory as the Web page) of the sound file you want to insert in the Web page. Or, click the Browse button to select a sound file. You may insert sound files of the following file types: *.wav, *.au, *.mid.
  • Play how many times - Use this section to select the number of times you want the currently shown sound to play when the user visits this page: once, a number of times specified by you, or infinitely (as long as the user is viewing the page).
  • Delete button - Click this button to delete the currently shown sound file from the Web page. This will not delete the sound file from your hard drive.
  • Before button - Click this button to move the currently shown sound file up by one, so that it plays earlier in the sequence of sound files. For instance, if the current sound file is number 3, clicking this button will move it to number 2. The file that was previously number 2 will become sound number 3. Applies only if you have added more than one sound to this page and the current sound is not the first sound.
  • After button - Click this button to move the currently shown sound file down by one, so that it plays later in the sequence of sound files. For instance, if the current sound file is number 2, clicking this button will move it to number 3. The file that was previously number 3 will become sound number 2. Applies only if you have added more than one sound to this page, and the current sound is not the last sound.
