Linking to other Pages




In addition to adding graphics, the true power of HTML is its ability to link documents together to create a collections of information. Links can be made to:
  • other pages on the web
  • other internet resources such as e-mail.
The <a> anchor tag with the href attribute allows you to make these links. The value of the href attribute is the URL of the target document. The URL can be absolute

<a href="http://www.alltel.net/~woody1/index.html"> Albritton Family Home Page</a>

or relative

<a href="index.htm."> Albritton Family Home Page<a>

Either way, the result is a link to the target document.

Albritton Family Home Page

You will notice that anything contained in the <a> tag is displayed as a link according to the colors specified by the link, vlink or alink attributes of the body tag. Links can be text as in the case above, or graphics.

<a href="index.htm"><img scr="button_1.gif " height=31 width=88 border=0 alt=" Albritton Family Home Page" ></a>

The border around an image which serves as a link can be turned off by setting the border attribute of the <img> tag to 0.

Somewhere on your page, you should add an e-mail link so visitors can contact you with comments or questions about your page. I include an e-mail link in the footer of every page. The mailto: URL allows you to add an e-mail link in the same manner as a link to another page. I also use a comments area on some pages which you can fill in any comments or suggestions and E-Mail to me.

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

E-mail Me
