3. 3 LINKS: The Three Types 1. To another site: 2.To another page on the same site: 3. To another location on the same page: href=“fullurl” href=“relativepathname” href=“#name” name=“name” Where you want to go Required Attribute(s) Standard Syntax Example href=“http://www.yahoo.com” href=“file1.html” href=“#sectiona” name=“sectiona” Type 1 is pretty straight-forward, types 2 and 3, however, require a little more explanation …

4. 4 LINKS: Type 2 – Specifying the href attribute ( same directory ) Because of the large number of files involved, Web sites usually need to have a hierarchical subdirectory structure Because of the large number of files involved, Web sites usually need to have a hierarchical subdirectory structure For example, if file1.html and file2.html were in the same directory and file1.html contained a link to file2.html, the href would simply be the name of the file (i.e.,“file2.html”) rather than being a reference to the entire path from the root (i.e., “c:\webdocs\file2.html”). For example, if file1.html and file2.html were in the same directory and file1.html contained a link to file2.html, the href would simply be the name of the file (i.e.,“file2.html”) rather than being a reference to the entire path from the root (i.e., “c:\webdocs\file2.html”). file1.html file2.html file1.html file2.html To make it easier to create files on one machine and then upload them onto another (server) machine, the href pathnames in links are usually stated in relative, rather than absolute, terms. To make it easier to create files on one machine and then upload them onto another (server) machine, the href pathnames in links are usually stated in relative, rather than absolute, terms.

5. 5 LINKS: Type 2 – Specifying the href attribute ( 1 level apart ) home.html clothing.html products.. / home.html / clothing.html

6. 6 LINKS: Type 2 – Specifying the href attribute ( 2 levels apart ) file3.html file4.html services.. / file3.html.. / destinationsfile4.html / /

7. 7 LINKS: Type 2 – Specifying the href attribute ( directories at same level ) shoes.html travel.html.. / shoes.html.. / services / products /
