Hypertext Links

HTML Code The heart of the World Wide Web is the hypertext link. The link is made using the anchor tag, <A>. The main form is
<A HREF="http://www.rain.org/~elw/rainsoft.html>[A LINK]</A>
to another Web page or location within the same page.

<P> A link to another location on the same page can be made giving the location a name using <A NAME=windows>, for example. The link is
<A HREF="http://www.rain.org/~elw/rainsoft.html#windows">[LINK]<A>.

<P> Links can be relative, referenced to the current page directory. For example, from the page at http://www.rain.org/~elw, the link to the RAINsoft page can be written <A HREF="rainsoft.html">[LINK]<A>.

Browser The heart of the World Wide Web is the hypertext link. The link is made using the anchor tag, <A>. The main form is [A LINK] to another Web page or location within the same page.

A link to another location on the same page can be made giving the location a name using <A NAME=windows>, for example. The link is [LINK].

Links can be relative, referenced to the current page directory. For example, from the page at http://www.rain.org/~elw, the link to the RAINsoft page can be written [LINK].
