Links


Links are used to give your viewer the opprotunity to travel within your site, or to a site out side of yours if you so desire. Links can be either text based, or graphic, however, if you are going to use graphic links, it is recommended that you also have the same link in text for those browsers that aren't capable of viewing images.

An example of a text based link would be <A HREF="http://www.download.com">download.com</A>---which looks like this when displayed by the browser: download.com. If you want the viewer to travel within your site only, then your link would have this syntax: <A HREF="yourpage.html">your page here</A>.

You can also have hyperlinks on your page, which link to another location on the same page. For example: <A HREF="#your link here">Your link Here</A>. Which looks like any other link when viewed through a browser: Your link here. If you are using that link then you will also need to use this link so that when the viewer clicks on the link it does something: <A NAME="your link here">Your link here</A>. If you don't have a really long page, then you do not need to use hyperlinks.

If you would like the viewer to be able to travel to a certain location on another site, you can use the following code: <A HREF="" #dog></A>. Remember, if you are using this link, you need to specify the address on the page that you want to take the viewer to. And it would also be considered good programming style to have a link on that page to take the viewer back to the page that they came from.
