HTML-links

=**DESIGN SOFTWARE -** HTML Links= include component="page" page="menu-designsoftware" editable="1" include component="page" page="menu-html" editable="1" To turn a single web**//page//** into a web**//site//**, you've got to create MORE webpages, and link them together with "hyperlinks".

The  TAG

 * ** is the anchortag - on it's own, it does nothing... but use the HREF parameter and it creates HYPERLINKS
 * ** will start making a link out of whatever follows it. **** will close the hyperlink

code format="html4strict" "Go to the previous page" code Would appear as "Go to the previous page"

(Note - there must be double slashes after the http:), ie: code format="html4strict" Go to Google! code
 * website address ">//** will send the link to another WEBSITE on the internet

Here are the initial rules:
 * 1) Use the tag LINK TEXT
 * 2) Create a new HTML document which matches the designated "filename.htm" - SPELLING COUNTS!
 * 3) Create all your new htm documents in the same folder as your "index.htm" (index.htm will be your main "home" page)

**LINK COLOURS**
The default colour of your links is controlled by parameters placed in the BODY tag: LINK="#FFFF00" would turn your "unvisited" links yellow VLINK="#00FFFF" would turn your "visited" links aqua ie: code format="html4strict"  code

ADDRESSING
To keep things simple you can link to files that are located in the same folder as your source code. If you wanted to link to files located in OTHER folders, you have to start building in an "address" to the target files. ie. For example - assume we're in the INTERNET folder shown at left. To link to the index.htm of the PAGES folder, we'd use the command: code format="html4strict" Click Here code To link back again to the index.htm of the "Internet" folder, we'd use
 * ./ || looks in the local folder - it's the same as leaving the address blank ||
 * ./foldername/ || looks in a subfolder ||
 * ../ || looks in the parent folder ||
 * ../../ || looks in the parent to the parent folder ||

 * ** will keep the link from being underlined <span style="color: rgb(127, 167, 199);"> //(found by Carly Bauer 2008)
