Foil 8 Creating a Web Page: Hyperlinks (Anchors)

From Introduction to HTML ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 1996. by Nancy J. McCracken * Critical Information in IMAGE

The main feature of hypertext is that we can set up links to other documents.
A hyperlink must specify 2 things:
  • the file containing the document to link to
  • the text or object in the current document that you want to be highlighted as the hyperlink.
A hyperlink to another document is created using an anchor <a> tag:
<a href="aboutrugs.html"> About Handmade Oriental Rugs </a>
The file can be given by any Unix relative pathname, which means that it can be any document in the current directory or in any subdirectory.
"rugs1/moreonrugs.html"
