Drill 5

Links to email

Now we will give the reader a way to send a message to you or whoever you choose. Again in the interest of saving space and endless scrolling I will only show the code I am adding and the point I am adding it into the document.

Here is what I added to the document lists.html in the previous drill:

This is my favorite list of all:
<P>
<A HREF="http://www.cbs.com/lateshow/ttlist.html">Letterman's Top Ten List </A>
<P> -----------------------> I will insert the email link here

This is the code I will use to add the email link:

I love to get mail so<A HREF="mailto:rgbrothers@aol.com">drop me a note</A>.
<P> 

Save your document and open it with your browser. You should see the text you typed and the text between the anchor tags should be a different color and underlined.

When the reader clicks on the underlined text, his computer should display his email software in order to send a message. This message will be addressed to the email address you placed in the code as a value.

If you don't see what I described then use those trouble shooting tips in the previous drills.

On to drill 6.
