Link to Pages on the Web

Y

ou can link to other sites on the Web by using the exact HTML code used in linking to pages in

your site: an anchor tag with an href attribute. However, these links require that you use an

absolute path. Depending on the operating system on which the site is hosted, the path may or may

not be case-sensitive, so you need to pay attention to capitals. A simple way of ensuring that your

link will work is to use your Web browser to navigate to the page, copy the address, and paste it into

your code.
