Hyperlinks ("links") are the base
of the Web. In most cases, they are colored in blue and underlined, and a click on them
will transfer you to another page, whether local or at a different URL address. The tag
for a hyperlink is:
<A Href="URL of link">Write here what you
want to be written as a link</a>
For example, the code
<A
Href="http://www.microsoft.com>Microsoft's Website</A>
will create the following link:
Microsoft's
Website.
You can also make a link to a specific spot
in a page. First, you have to define to where you want the link to transfer; it can be on
the same page or at a different page. To do so, you use the tag
<A Name="name of spot">
If the link is to a specific spot in the
same page, you use the tag
<A Href= "#name of
spot">This text is the link;</a>
If the link is to a specific spot on
another page, you use the tag:
<A Href="URL#name of
spot">This text is the link;</a>
For example, I have added the tag
<A Name="example">
right beneath the link to Microsoft. I will
add a link to that spot:
Scroll up to the
Microsoft link
The text for this link is
<A Href="#example">
