Q: How do I link to another page or website?

Links are made by surrounding a text or image with anchor tags and the HREF attribute. Links can be specified as relative or absolute referrences. Absolute referrences specify the full domain and path to the document where as relative links specifiy a path to the document in relation to the current document. An example of each is shown below:

HTML Code

What it looks like

<A HREF="www.freeservers.com/">FreeServers</a>

FreeServers

<A HREF="index.html">Tech Support</a>

Tech Support


Q: How do I link to an e-mail address?

You can link to an e-mail address by using the MAILTO keyword in the HREF attribute of the anchor tag.
Example:

 

HTML Code

What it looks like

<A HREF="mailto:jdoe@domain.com">jdoe@domain.com</a>

jdoe@domain.com

 

Q: How do I link to another location within a document?

To link to a location within a document, you first must create an anchor tag at the location you want to link to using the NAME attribute. Then you can create a link to that location with another anchor tag prefacing the name of the local link with a pound symbol '#'. Example:

HTML Code

What it looks like

<A NAME="locallink">Local Link Here</a>

Local Link Here

<A HREF="#locallink">Goto locallink</a>

Goto locallink

 

Q: How do I link to a target location from elsewhere in the document (anchor tags)?
