XHTML Hyperlinks
Creating Links to Other Web Pages • A link, or hyperlink, is a specially formatted Web page object that the user can click to open a different Web page, known as the target.
Creating Links to Other Web Pages • Links are created using the anchor tag pair. • <a> … </a>
Creating Links to Other Web Pages • Type of links: • external • file located on a network, such as the Internet • file in the same location as the current file • internal (jump link) • e-mail
External Links • Example 1 <a href=“http://www.garlandisd.net”>GISD</a> • Example 2 <a href=“page2.htm”>Page 2 of My Site</a>
Internal Links (Jump Links) Part 1: href=”#linkname” Links different parts of your HTML document. “linkname” is the name of the section you are jumping or linking to. <a href=”#top”>Top of Page</a> Part 2: name=”????” Marks the place or point on the page where you want the browser to jump to. “????” is the name you assign to the location in the document. <a name=”top”></a>
E-mail Links • E-mail links require using mailto: in front of the e-mail address on the href attribute. • Example: <a href=“mailto:kstair@garlandisd.net”>Mrs. Stair’s Email Address</a>
Absolute vs. Relative Links • An absolute link includes the page’s full Web site location and directory information. • Absolute links should only be used when linking to another site<a href=http://www.w3schools.com> Tutorials </a>
Absolute vs Relative Link • A relative link, on the other hand, includes only the information about the target page’s location relative to the current Web page. • Allows entire sites to be moved without breaking links.<a href=“page2.htm”><a href=“folder/page5.htm><a href=“../index.htm”>
Linking Graphics • To link a graphic, surround the <img /> tag with the <a>..</a> tag pair referencing the target Web page.
Linking Graphics • Example: <a href=“index.htm”><img src=“house.jpg” /></a> Displays a photo of a house that will take the user to the home page after they click the house photo.
Linking Graphics • Linked graphics display by default with a blue border • Blue border provides a clue to users that the image contains a link
Linking Graphics • A user can test a graphic by moving the mouse pointer over it – the pointer changes to a pointing hand if the image is formatted with a link.
