In this section, you will learn how to make a basic link as well as adding an image. By the time we finish this tutorial, you will be able to make picture links with a few little extras.
We're pretty sure everybody would know what a link is and it's application on the net. If not, it would have been rather tough to navigate to this site or any other for that matter. Let's have a look at the basic link code and then break it down. Hey, that's a pretty good pun! Link...break. Well, we thought it was funny. <A HREF="http://www.yoursite.com">Your linked text here</A> OK, let's tackle the first part. The "A HREF" tells your browser that you are wanting to link to another site. There was a time when I remembered what the accronym meant but for the life of me, I can't remember now. Anyway, the next part of the code is where you want to sent your surfer. The text in between > and < will actually be your link. Once they click on that text, they will be directly to the site you wish them to see. Again, just like in font tags, you have to add the closing tag which is the </A>. This tag tells your browser that your link has ended. All further text will return to normal. Here is an example of a text link. Please don't click it. Your linked text here Now you see that when you place your mouse over the text, the little link hand appears telling you that it's a link to another part of this site or to a completely new one. This is the basic construct of linking. To learn about linking pictures, click next. |
