Creating hyperlinks on a Web page
A well designed Web site should be a pleasent viewing experience
for the visitor. To facilitate navigation and allowing speedy and
seamless access to information is a key ingredient to a well designed
and popular Web site. A hyperlink is one of the key navigation
tools of a Web page and therefore you should know what they are
and, more importantly, how to create and add them to your Web
project.
What is a hyperlink?
In short, a hyperlink quickly "jumps" a visitor to an "address" or loca-
tion of either another Web page or to a section on the same viewing
page. This allows you, the Web designer, to create Web pages that
will present additional information in another location without being
forced to place all of your Web content on a single page.
You can set up hyperlinks to http and ftp addresses on the Inter-
net and to e-mail addresses by using the mailto hyperlink. You can
also make hyperlinks to Web pages that are on a local hard disk or
company Intranet.
Youll set up some hyperlinks in the Webpage.cnv document.
