HTML Help - Adding Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks

<a href="URL"></a> This sets up a hyperlink i.e http://www.adbh.co.uk note generally you will be using http when inserting an external link, do not forget to include it in your link.

Looks like http://www.adbh.co.uk (this would normally be underlined but I use Cascading Style Sheets and have chosen not to underline links)

<a href="http://www.adbh.co.uk">ADBH Web</a> This allows you to add some meaninful text to the link.

Looks like ADBH Web

For links to pages within your site <a href="../../default.htm">ADBH Web</a> - this style is using relative linking the ../ in the statement are telling the browser to go up one directory or in the case of the example two directories.

<a href="mailto:EMAIL"></a> Set up an e-mail link

<a href="mailto:email address">Contact</a> You can add a bit of text to this as well.

Looks like this Contact
