Understanding Hyperlinks
Have you ever noticed that certain words on the Web look a little bit different?
Whenever you see a word or phrase that's underlined in blue, it's probably a hyperlink, or link for short.
Instead of having to memorize the web addresses of every page that you might want to use, you can click on a shortcut to where you want to go. You might already know how links work, even if you've never thought about them much before.
Links are used to navigate the Web. When you click a link, it will take you to a different webpage or a different place in the webpage that you are already on.
Sometimes images or icons are used as links instead of underlined words.
If you hover your mouse pointer over a hyperlink, it changes from the arrow into the hand with the pointing finger.
By hovering over objects on a webpage, you can quickly figure out which ones are hyperlinks.
Links don't always go to another website.
In some cases, they allow you to download a file. When you click a link like this, the file will be downloaded to your computer.
In this example, we're downloading an installation file for a new application.
As you can see, links are an important part of using the Web. They allow you to easily navigate between different webpages, download files, and do a whole lot more.
