LINKS
You can "jump" from one Webpage to another with the use of links. The basic syntax of the anchor tag is:
<![CDATA[
<a href="http://www.rutgers.edu">Rutgers University</a>
<a href="lists.html">Lists</a>
<a href="mailto:au@newark.rutgers.edu">Write to me!</a>
]]>
Let's look at the pieces which make up URLs (uniform resource locators) or Web addresses like those above:
<![CDATA[
<a ...> </a> = anchor tag
href = hypertext reference
http:// = hypertext transport protocol
(refers to a Webpage)
www.rutgers.edu = implies that the default Webpage (index.html)
is to be displayed
lists.html = displays a specific file located in the same
directory
[some text]</a> = these are the words that would normally appear
blue and underlined
mailto: = for e-mail addresses
]]>
Exercise:
<![CDATA[
<center>
<h2>My Webpage</h2>
</center>
<h3>First Paragraph</h3>
<p>
...
</p>
<hr />
<h3>Second Paragraph</h3>
<p>
...
</p>
<hr width="300" />
A couple of my favorites Websites are
<a href="http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu">Rutgers University
Libraries</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>.
Send me <a href="mailto:au@newark.rutgers.edu">e-mail</a> and
tell me your favorite Websites.
