Hyperlinks are the elements on your web pages
that allow visitors to navigate around your website. It
is important to your site that they are placed and done
well. Here are some link examples taken from this website:
<a href="e-downloads.htm">Downloads</a>
<a href="mergemill.htm" target="_blank">User's
Guide</a>
<a href="http://www.crossculture.com.hk">Cross
Culture Limited</a>
<a href="#PageTop">Top
of Page</a>
<a href="mailto:info@crossculture.com.hk?subject=your-default-subject-line">
info@crossculture.com.hk</a>
Hyperlink Destination
The visible part of the hyperlink is the link text
or label, in blue in the examples above. When the
label is clicked, the visitor is directed to the destination
set by the href attribute.
The examples show that you can specify a path for the destination
page relative to the current one, a full URL, or an anchor
on the same page. You may even create an email hyperlink
with a default subject line as shown in the last example
above.
In our free web templates, we have set an anchor at the
top of the visible page, above the header:
<a name="PageTop"></a>.
The Top of Page link at the bottom of this web
page, when clicked, scrolls the web page to show the labelless
anchor, which means in effect back to the top.
Hyperlink Label
The link label does not have to be text. You may
place an img tag there such that the visitor may
click on the image to be directed to the destination.
Hyperlink Target
If you do not want the visitor to be directed away from
your web page or website, you may add the target attribute
target="_blank"
to display the destination web page in a new window.
