The World Wide Web is made up of millions of linked pages. One of the best features about the Web is the ability to link from one Web page to another anywhere in the world. Linking can also be done within the same Web site, or even within the same Web page. Knowing how to create kinks is an important part of Web development. There are four types of links that you learned in Project 2. If you want to see the HTML tags used for each type of link, please click on the link above.
To link within a Web page, you must first set targets. Then you link to those targets with an HREF=tag, using the target name within the quotes.
To link to a page within the same Web site, you use the HREF=tag, typing the linked page name between the quotes.
Linking to another site is the same as linking to a page on the same site, but you must type the entire URL within the quotes after the HREF=tag.
An E-mail is a bit different. You must use the phrase mailto:e-mail address within the quotes after the HREF=tag.
