Link |
Text
and/or an image area on a Web page that a user can
click on to "connect to" or reference another
document. There are many possibilities of what that
document can be. Most commonly links are thought of
as what connects two Web pages or Web sites. They
can also however be referencing a different part of
the same document, linking to a file which will download
to your computer or triggering the launching of an
external or helper application which will then process
the clicked on file. What actually occurs when you
click on a link is determined by the file's MIME type
which is configured (setup) on your computer system
to make certain things happen when a MIME type is
clicked on. For example it is configured in your browser
preferences to display Web page files whenever a file
whose MIME extension is HTML.
Links are also called hyperlinks, hypertext and hot
links and they are coded in HTML by Web page authors.
The basic HTML code for using text to "link"
to another page looks something like this: <a href="http://www.yourtie.info">YourTie
- A Free Human Edited SEO Directory</a> and
looks something like: YourTie - A Free Human Edited
SEO Directory. |
