Adding Links to Connect Web Pages
Linking to Pages (Files) on your Disk/Computer If the file is not in the same folder as the HTML file, the file’s location has to be exact, including the drive’s name such as a:\ or c:\ or e:\ or f:\ This is called an absolute link. To use absolute links on a desktop machine, you use the file:/// protocol. Like http://, it goes at the beginning of the location. (Note file:/// has three slashes.) Example of using a File on your disk, computer or flash: <a href=“file:///a:\Marquee Practice.html”>Marquee</a> If using a Folder’s Name: Example <a href=“file:///a:\WebPage\Marquee Practice.html”> Marquee</a>
