Linking

HTML's single hypertext-related tag is <A>, which stands for anchor. To include an anchor in your document:

• start the anchor with <A (include a space after the A)
• specify the document you're linking to by entering the attribute HREF="filename" followed by a closing right angle bracket (>)
• enter the text that will serve as the hypertext link in the current document
• enter the ending anchor tag: </A> (no space is needed before the end anchor tag)

Here is a simple hypertext reference in a file called Beertype.html:

    <A HREF="Labatts.html">Blue</A>

displays as Blue

This makes the word Blue the link to the document Labatts.html, which is in the same directory as the first document.

This is called a relative link.

It looks for the location of the file relative to the current document. if you want to link to something that is not located on the same server as your page then you need to to refer to it's URL.
