Hyperlinks
(Anchor and hyperlink reference )

"Anchor" and "Hyperlink" tags are the beginning of hypertextuality on the web as they allow us to jump from page to page or to another site entirely etc.

Using the "anchor" and "Hyperlink"tag to link to another part of the page :

<A href="#link">then the text which links and then</A>

"Anchor" tags are the simplest of hypertextual elements on the web.
The "Anchor" tag can take you somewhere else within the page , For example: Try this and it will take you to the bottom of the page because I inserted a <A name="anchor">tag before and the </A>tag after the word "anchor" .

Note: If you're working with a large or hi-res monitor you might need to shrink the browser window to see this effect as this page is not very long and might display in it's entirety on large monitors.

Using the "Hyperlink"tag to link to another page or site:

<A href="anotherpage or website.htm">then the text which links and then</A>

"Anchor" tags are the beginning of hypertextuality on the web as they allow us to jump from page to page or to another site entirely etc.
There are relative and absolute pathnames. The relative pathname can be used to specify another page within the present subdirectory where the document from which the link is made also resides. The browser will construct the full address from the stem upwards. That means that if I make a link fom this page to the previous page, I can simply say: <A href="basics.htm"> Try Instead of
<A href="Http://www.olinda.com/webdesign/4_Links/basics.htm">
The absolute pathname tag requires me to enter the entire URL and this might refer to a page on my site (but in another directory i.e. another folder) or another site altogether
Using the "Hyperlink"tag and the "anchor" tag together:

A link to another page and somewhere specific in that page looks like: <A href="anotherpage or website.htm #link"> then the text which links and then</A>

For example, by clicking here you go to the bottom of the previous page.

This is the " Anchor " tag to which I've linked from the top of the page:
