Thank you for visiting WebMasterKnowHow.com - If you can suggest things that should be added to the site I would like to hear about them. Anything regarding hosting, HTML, attracting traffic, problems and mistakes. I intend to make this site as useful as I can, and with that in mind I'm trying to add at least one new topic every week.

What NOT to do

LINKS

<A HREF=where you're pointing to>what to click on</A>

is the form of the basic link. Whatever is after the HREF should be the complete URL of the destination, starting with http:, unless it is in the same directory (folder) that the page calling it is on. If both pages are in the same directory, you can just use the name of the file, such as "mypage.html". The "what to click on" part can be any text you want, such as "click here" or the name of the destination website, such as "Jimmy's place" or the URL, just as you placed it after the HREF.

For example:

<A HREF=http://www.correlationsystems.com/>http://www.correlationsystems.com/</A> would display as:

http://www.correlationsystems.com/

and <A HREF=http://www.correlationsystems.com/>Correlation Systems</A> would display as:

Correlation Systems

but both would take you to the same place.

LINKING within a page:

Sometimes you will want to make a link from the top of a long page to a part lower down, or from a reference in one page to a specific part of another page.

You need to mark the part you will be linking to with:
<A NAME=whatever> </A>

And use this for the hypertext link for the person to click on:

<A HREF=#whatever>CLICK HERE</A>

or if it's on a different page, you add #whatever immediately after the name of the page. For example:

<A HREF=http://www.mydomain.com/index.html#whatever>CLICK HERE</A>

To make it easy for your visitors to hop to the top of your page you could put <A NAME=top> </A> at the top of your page, and <A HREF=#top>to top of page</A> in the middle of your page, or several places in your page.
