Boulder Community NetworkLinking is the "hyper" in HTML. To link you use anchor tags <a
> . . .</a>
Anchor tags must have attributes.
You can link to a place within the same document--a two-part process.
<a name="top">Level 1 Head</a>(anchor)
<a href="#top">Go to Top of Page</a>
or<a href="mypage.htm#top">Go to Top of Page</a>(link)
HREF stands for Hypertext REFerence.
create an anchor (name) tag at the top of your page, type Go to Top of Page at the bottom of your Web page, and create a link back to the top..
To other documents
<a href="filename.htm">Filename</a>(relative link)
<a href="mainfolder/myfolder/filename.htm">Filename</a>(absolute link)
