Hour 6. Creating Text Links

Hour 6. Creating Text Links

In Hour 3, "Linking to Other Web Pages," you learned to use the <a> tag to create links between HTML pages. This hour takes linking a step or two forward by showing you how to use the same tag to enable viewers to jump between different parts of the same web page. This allows you to break a document into sections, and opens up opportunities for creating a table of contents with links or to put a link at the bottom of a page that returns you to the top. You'll find out how to link to a specific point within a separate page, too.

Links aren't just for connecting web pages with each other; this lesson also tells you how to embed a live link to your email address in a web page so that readers can instantly compose and send messages to you. I even show you a trick to help prevent spammers from ripping your email address from your web pages and sending you junk mail.
