Creating an Relative Link
Creating an Relative Link
Empowering Today’s Learners to Become Tomorrow’s Leaders
To make a relative , or an internal link, you first have to have another page to link to. We'll link to table.html.
Now, lets create a link.
Open index.html in Notepad (from your procedures folder!). As always, because we still working on procedures, make sure you that you have opened your procedures index file!
Type in (or copy and paste) the following HTML code, it should go in above the mailing address that you added to your page as part of the instructions on 'Breaks':
<p><a href="table.html">Check out my amazing table web page!</a></p>
3. Save and preview in the browser to see the hyperlink you have just inserted.
The opening tag <a href=" "> marks the beginning of a hypertext reference, which indicates a link to connect to another object (text, image, and so on). The link can be internal (within the same document) or external (to another Web page or server in cyberspace).
The quotation marks (" ") enclose the address of the object or URL being linked to. The text between the opening and closing tags is what will show, usually blue and underlined, on the Web page as the link. When the users click that link text, they will open and view the linked item. The familiar pointing hand icon will appear when users move the mouse over a hyperlink. The closing tag for the hyperlink is </a>.
“Check out my amazing table web page!” will appear as an underlined link at the bottom of your web page.
Check to see if the link works.
