What is a Hyperlink?

Hyperlinks are "an element in an electronic document that links to another place in the same document or to an entirely different document. Typically, you click on the hyperlink to follow the link. Hyperlinks are the most essential ingredient of all hypertext systems, including the World Wide Web."  (Webopedia)  The word Webopedia is a hyperlink. 

A hyperlink, or simply a link, is a reference in a hypertext document to another document or other resource. As such it is similar to a citation in literature. Combined with a data network and suitable access protocol, a computer can be instructed to fetch the resource referenced.  Hyperlinks are part of the foundation of the World Wide Web created by Tim Berners-Lee.  (Wikipedia)

Hyperlinks make your web site, and the larger World Wide Web, work.  Without hyperlinks we would have to type the page address of each document we wanted to view into the browser address line.  All the navigational elements that take you to another page, whether text, buttons or other graphics, or pictures and other images, are hyperlinks. 

You know when you are on a hyperlink when the cursor changes from an arrow to a hand.  In the body text, hyperlinks typically are underlined and in a different color.

Hyperlinking and navigation are key concepts to master, which is why we will be spending more time on this process.  In the next four sections we will cover creating:

  • Link Bars, which are the button bars you see in the left shared border area of this web page.

  • Embedded hyperlinks in the text areas of your site. 

  • Making a graphic into a hyperlink.

You will learn how to:

  • Link to other pages on your web site.

  • Link to specific places or text on the page using Bookmarks.

  • Link to other web sites.

  • Link to an e-mail address.
