    Links

 

A link is a word or a group of words you click on to get to another web page. The tag you will use to do this is:

<A HREF=””>   </A>

A HREF means Active Hyper REFerence. Insert the web address between the two quotation marks then type the name of the web page address before the closing </A> tag.

 

<A HREF="http://www.libraryontheweb.org">Library on the Web</A>

Your link will look like this:   Library on the Web

 

Make sure the web address starts with  http://  or it will not work. You should check the web address in Internet Explorer before putting it in your web page. If the link works, copy and paste it between the two quotation marks. This way you will know that if the link on your web page doesn't work, it's not because your internet address is wrong.
