Lessons: Intro | Basic | Links | Images | Tables | Frames
Once you've made two or three pages, you'll want to be able to interconnect them, so that users can browse through them. To do this, we will use the hyperlink tool, which looks like this:

Most links are made from text, like this one, which leads back to the index of this tutorial. Sometimes, images can be linked as well. When you want to do this, the process is the same. It's a good idea to save your pages before doing this too.

First, select the text that you want to change into a link and press the hyperlink button on the toolbar. You should see this menu screen pop up:

This window should contain a list of the pages available. If you like, you can simply click on the page you're linking to and click OK. Or, you can have more control by using the URL field below this list.

If you know the file name of the page you're linking to, like junk.html, then you can type that name in yourself. You can also link to pages out on the web by typing in the address, such as http://www.nhl.com.

The four buttons beside the URL text field can also be used to specify links. The first will open up your browser and you can find the right file on the internet. The next will let you browse your computer for the file. The third can be used to create an email link -- just click it and type in the email address. The last can be used to create a new webpage and link to that.

There are other properties available, but we don't need to get into those. Once you've set the link, go ahead and click Ok. The text you highlighted should become blue and underlined, or another colour if you change those settings on the page.

That's all there is to setting links. Now, to add some pizzaz to your page, try adding images.
