Introduction to Links Hyperlinks (or links) are used to connect a Web page to another Web page Links can also be used to create an link Either text or an image can be used as a hotspot for a link The mouse pointer usually changes when positioned over a hotspot URL appears on status bar when the mouse pointer is over a hotspot
Creating text links The most common form of link Words are the hotspot With text links, always use descriptive text as the clickable word(s) Unless otherwise stated, the color of text links is dependent upon browser-defined defaults (see table 2.1) Format to change link colors:
Linking Within a Web Page Allows visitors to move quickly from one section of the Web page to another Important for large Web pages (p. 2.08) Move to next section Table of contents

Web page images (p. 2.17) Classes of Images Inline images – display on page directly External images – only display when visitor clicks a link to display them Image types JPEG GIF Interlaced GIF Image attributes table 2-4
Including Images in a Web page Images are physically in a separate file in some image format (jpeg or gif) Your HTML code only has a reference to the image (i.e. its file name) For this project to display properly, all image files must physically reside in same folder as your HTML document
To include images in project two Save your HTML code in a folder on the desktop Find the directory for the HTML data disk (c:\Course Technology\6543-9) Copy these files (using drag and drop) into the same folder as your HTML file: greyback.jpg bluebar.jpg ovallaeb.gif sample1.htm
Adding a link to 2 nd Web page The and tags are used to create links Referred to as anchor tags Use the Hyperlink REFerence (HREF) attribute to link to another Web page Two items required Text or image to act as hotspot Name of the file to which you want to link

Image borders A border on an image makes the image display as if it has a frame around it If the image is a link, the default (or selected) link color will be the color of the border (see p. 2.39)
