Creating a Text Link

Linking to Another Web Page

• Type <A HREF="?"> replacing the ? with the file name of the Web page you want to link to.
• Type the text (name of the page you're linking).
• Then type the closing tag: </A>

Example: 

 <A HREF="http://www.australia.com"> Australia </A>

Australia

Note: Review the link naming examples in Organizing Your Site.

Links within a Web Site

If you want readers to jump to a place on the current Web page because the page is long, you must first name the web page area. Position the cursor in front of the area where you want readers to be able to go quickly. ("A" stands for Anchor.)

• Type <A NAME="?"> replacing the ? with a name that describes that area of the Web Page.
• Type </A> after the text to complete the tag.
• The next step is to place a link in the web page (generally at the top). Position the cursor in front of the text or image that you want to select that will take readers to another area of the Web page.
• Type <A HREF="#?"> replacing the ? with the name you assigned to that area of the page.
• Type </A> after the text to complete the tag.
