You were previously asked to create a page for a video game outlet. You now have to add a page for each game in the list. Then link to this page from the list in the existing page.
The new pages should have:
The H in HTML stands for Hyper,but what does that mean?
Hypertext is text which can link to other files, this is called a hyperlink. A hyperlink is composed of two parts, the anchor and the destination.
<a href=”http://www.google.com”>Google</a>
In the example above the anchor tag <a></a> is used to set an object (text or image) as an anchor, in this case Google. The href attribute is used to identify the destination of the link, in this case http://www.google.com. This is called an external hyperlink as the destination is on another server. If you were linking to a file on the same server then the internal hyperlink would be.
<a href=”page1.html”>Page 1</a>
The anchor tag can be placed around other HTML elements such as images.
<a href=”http://www.google.com><img src=”googleLogo.png”></a>
This would place a border around the image indicating that it is an anchor.
You can specify where to open the linked document using the target attribute.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| _blank | Opens the linked document in a new window or tab |
| _self | Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default) |
| _parent | Opens the linked document in the parent frame |
| _top | Opens the linked document in the full body of the window |
So if you want the Google link above to open in a new tab you would change it to.
<a href=”http://www.google.com” target=”_blank”>Google</a>
A hyperlink is a made up of two parts, the anchor which is a piece of text or an image and the link which is either a full URL or a reference relative to the page you are on. They are used on web sites for navigation between connected pages. Hyperlinks are only one way with the destination page being unaware of the page containing the link.
