| On this page we will create sample links to the main eteamz site ( http://www.eteamz.com/ ) and to other areas of our member-support site ( http://www.eteamz.com/member-support ). |
Textual
Links | You can create links to other pages within the same site and to specific spots on those pages. You may link to other eteamz pages or to anywhere on the web. Even previously uploaded files and graphics may be displayed via a link from your site. |
Link
Elements | 1) <a href=""> ~ beginning tag - stands for Anchor Hypertext Reference
2) The page URL ~ where the link will take your viewer
3) The online text ~ words chosen by you that will be seen online
4) </a> ~ ending tag - always used |
Putting
it
together:
Links to
a page | To use the elements above, we first need to know two things. Where do we want to send the viewer and what do we want our online text to say? The answer for us here is that we want to send the viewer to the eteamz home page and we want our online text to say Visit eteamz.com. First, begin the link by typing:
<a href=""> Copy/paste the eteamz site URL into the beginning tag, between the quotation marks:
<a href="http://www.eteamz.com/"> Add the ending tag after the beginning tag, to get:
<a href="http://www.eteamz.com/"></a> Finally, insert the online text in between the completed beginning tag and the ending tag. This is what will be uploaded: <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/">Visit eteamz.com</a> Visit eteamz.com Here is a link used within the text of a sentence, uploaded as: To enjoy music on your site, <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/member-support/news/index.cfm?cat=200142">please review our music page</a>. To enjoy music on your site, please review our music page. The words in blue appear online, and are chosen by you. |
Links to
a specific
spot on
a page | First, please click here. To target an exact spot on a page, you must apply an "anchor" to the spot where you want to go, and reference that anchor with your link. On our home page, right before the chat info, we entered our anchor as <a name="chat"></a> The link to that specific spot was entered and uploaded as: First <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/member-support#chat">please click here</a>. The words in blue can be anything as long as the link and the anchor match. |
Links to
uploaded
files or
graphics | Linking to an uploaded file is also easy. In this example, we are linking to a file called ElasticTrailScript.htm, and it is done as: <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/member-support/files/ElasticTrailScript.htm">Elastic Trail Script</a> Elastic Trail Script Linking to a graphic named handshake_world.jpg ~ Uploaded as: <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/member-support/images/handshake_world.jpg">Welcome</a> Welcome Note: To link to files and graphics uploaded to your own site, the words in blue must exactly match your site name and file or graphic name. |
Email
Links | To create a link to e-mail Larry and Dean at this site, add mailto: and the email address. It would be uploaded as <a href="mailto:Help@Larry-Dean.com">Email us</a> Email us Again, the email address ( Help@Larry-Dean.com ) must be exact, while the words ( Email us ) may be anything. |
