create links using HTML

In HTML, you create a link using the A or anchor tag. Place the A tag before the text or image that you wish to link from, along with the HREF attribute which specifies the absolute or relative URL. After the text or image that activates the link, close with </a>. For example:

<a href="nextfile.htm">link from this text</a>

You can also link to a location in the current document:

<a href="#top">Return to top</a>

You would also have to mark the destination in the current document as follows:

<a name="top"></a>

For more information, consult an HTML manual.
