Inserting Links to Other Documents In A Web Page

Inserting Links

URL’s can be referenced in two ways; via absolute Internet links (http://www.sausage.com) or by relative links (art/elise.html). Relative links are used for linking to other documents that form part of your WebSite. Absolute links are used to link to documents that are elsewhere on the Internet (a link to Sausage Software for example).

  • If you want to create other links (to Gopher or an e-mail link for example), use the Link Wizard. Click the graphics/Hotdog500000001.gif button in the ‘Insert Link’ dialog.
