HTML Links for E-mail

[Return to HTML Index]

<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>
What you put here is what appears at the top of the browser window (in the blue section) AND it is what the page is called when you add a bookmark for it
</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<p>E-mail is an important function of the Internet.   You will certainly want, at some point, to have a way for your viewer to send you mail.  You do this with a special link:</p>

<a href="mailto:[email protected]" >[E-mail]</a>

</BODY>

</HTML>

The above html code will produce the following on your web page:

E-mail is an important function of the Internet.   You will certainly want, at some point, to have a way for your viewer to send you mail.  You do this with a special link:

[E-mail]

Even though this examples appears the same on your web page as the previous examples, when you click on the link, it will open a new browser window (because of the "target=" in your href tag).

I would recommend that any time you link to a page outside your site, you use the "target" in your href tag.  This way, your viewer can browse the off-site location and when done, all they have to do is close the new window which brings them right back to your site.

COMMENTS (in other words, documentation) for your HTML.  Use:

<COMMENT><!-- put your remarks here --></COMMENT>

Start NOW to document your pages so that when you go back to them, those tricky items like tables within tables within tables won't come back to haunt you!  Anything between <COMMENT> AND </COMMENT> will not show up on your page.  You will only see it if you view the source for the page.
