Lesson Three

TEXT LINKS

The tags used to produce links are the <a> and </a>.
The <a> tells where the link should start and the </a> indicates where the link ends.
Everything between these two will work as a link.
The target of the link is added to the <a> tag using
the href="http://www.whateverpage.com" setting.
The example below shows how to make the word here work as a link to yahoo

click <a hrep-"http://www.yahoo.com"> here </a> to go to yahool.

Click here to go to yahoo.
You simply:
• Specify the target in the <a href=" ">.
• Then add the text that should work as a link.
• Finally add an </a> tag to indicate where the link ends.
