Links

For starters, we need the <A></A> tags. This is where all your link info goes, URL, etc. Ok, let's focus on the <A HREF=""></A> tag. Your URL & text info will go within this tag.

First let's focus on the HREF attribute. Here's an example of how the tag will look: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com"> HREF lets you know that, what follows is an URL & that you're going to link to it. Now say you want your link to read, My Site!

Well, here's how we do it. Note the </A> tag that occurs at the end? This makes it so your link will read the way you want.

Here's an example:
<A HREF="http://www.domain.com">My Site!</A>

Here's how it actually looks: My Site!

Now we'll go over the target attribute. This attribute has many good uses. (In use with frames, for example) You can use this attribute to open a new browser window, or to break your site out of Frames. First, I'll show how to open a new window for your link: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com" TARGET="_blank">My Site!</A> This opens a new window when you click on the link.

Here's how it works: My Site!

Now for a frame breaking link. Here's an example: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com" TARGET="_top">My Site!</A> This opens the new page "on top" of the old page, thereby breaking the page out of any Frames. Cool, Huh!

Here's how this one works: My Site!

I hope this helps!
