If this site has helped you at all... Please
Add a link to us.

from your web site.
<a name="learning" id="learning"></a>back down



<a href="whatever address you want to send someone">name of place</a>
This is a hyperlink as it's written in html.
It looks like this to a web browser...
name of place
(This hyperlink will not work)

This is a good example...
Copy and paste this hyperlink into your html document and then click on it...It will bring you right back here.
<a href="http://freeinternetservice.hypermart.net/p4.htm">This will bring you back</a>
Now change the info. to suit your needs.
There...you've just created your first hyperlink using HTML.
(example...)
<a href="http://wherever you choose.com/page_name">wherever you chose.com</a>


Use this HYPERLINK to send someone from one spot on a page to another on the same page.
Use this tag for where you want the link...
<a href="#any name">any name</a>
Use this tag for where you want to send someone...
<a name="any name" id="any name">
(Remember that the top link has to match the bottom link in order to work. Accept for the # sign, that is a symbol used to tell the browser to go to a word not a page.)
ok...let's try an example...
<a href="#learning">#learning"</a>
Click on the word learning and it will bring you up to the top of the page.
(notice that you will see what the tag should look like at the top as well.)

  • If you want to point someone to a seperate page and a certain spot on that page use...

    Link from:  <a href="page.htm#23">your link</a>
    Link to:  <a name="23" id="23">


    Now let's create a hyperlink for sending email...
    It's basically the same as a regular hyperlink except you use mailto:
    Here is what a mailto: hyperlink looks like...
    <a href="mailto:nicolino101@yahoo.com">
    Click here to email me</a>
    Simply change nicolino101@yahoo.com (my email adress) to your email adress.
    I suggest that you put at least one of the email links on each of your pages.

    Do you want to add your own subject line, send to multiple recipients, or create a carbon copy?
    ex....
    <a href="mailto:nicolino101@yahoo.com,myMOM@hotmail.com, yourMOM@aol.com?subject=hi there&cc=nicolino101@yahoo.com">


    Start with <a href="mailto:
    Seperate the email recipients with commas.
    Then add a ?
    followed by subject= and enter the subject that you want.
    Then an & followed by cc= (carbon copy) and the email address for the recipient of the carbon copy.
    Finish with the ending ">
    try it....
    Click Here.


    Ok...well that's the basics of the HYPERLINK. Yes, there is more that you can do with it, and we'll get to that later.
