HyperText Links
Hypertext Links are the highlighted text on Web pages that take you
to another Web page when you click on them.
You can link to another Webpage on your server or link to a Webpage
at another location.
When you link to a Web page on your server, you do not have to specify
the complete URL, just the relative
location of this file (see text book p.g.77).
When the
Webpage is on a different server, you must
specify the entire URL. Below are two statements for each
case:
Linking to Webpage on your machine
If the Webpage is in the same directory as the webpage
linking to it, you use the following statement:
< a href="webpage2.html" > Link to Page 2 < /a >
If the Webpage is in the sub-directory called Fun compared
to the webpage
linking to it, you use the following statement:
< a href="Fun/webpage2.html" > Link to Page 2 < /a >
Linking to Webpage not on your machine
Say you wish to link to IBM's webpage at http://www.ibm.com, you
would use the following statement:
< a href="http://www.ibm.com" > Link to IBM < /a >
