Hi,
I am feeling a little foolish as I am sure this has been asked and answered before but I can't find the solution. Does Website X5 professional have the facility to create custom buttons. I want to create a button that the user uses to link to a hidden page within the website. I don't want a text link as I need it to be stand-alone button.
Any help withouth having to use 3rd party code would be appreciated.
Regards

Hello Ian,
A button is really nothing more than an image which has a hyperlink set on it so that when clicked it loads the page of your choice (or performs some other action).
With that in mind you can use any image you like (in an Image Object), then set a link using the fields available on the 'General' tab of the Object's properties.
WebSite X5 ships with a considerable amount of button images. You will find them if you browse to the following location:
C:\Program Files(x86)\WebSite X5 v11 - Professional\Res\Buttons
and also:
C:\Program Files(x86)\WebSite X5 v11 - Professional\Res\ButtonsStyles
If you don't find anything to your liking there then you could use one of the many excellent online 'button makers' to roll-your-own... e.g.:
