Targets and Links
Linking to places within a page or to other pages, otherwise known as navigation. This is how you get from one place to another on the internet. In earlier lessons I covered navigating within your own directory. To establish a link to another page (or within the same page) highlight the text you want to have as your link or click on the image you want linked then press the links on the first toolbar.

Link from this text
In the line under

URL (Page Location) or File
You can either use the choose file button or type in the address of the file you want in the long white bar. If it is a page not on your site you need to type in the entire internet address (URL)
e.g. http://www.2fords.net/allanon/xanth/xanth.html
Hit the OK button and you're done.

Did you see that box underneath the URL line. That's where the targets are listed. Targets are places within the web page that you designate as link-to places. To set a target on your page, pick your spot and place the cursor there. Then click on the arrow and target emblem on the first toolbar. A box will pop up asking you to name the target. Give it a name, hit OK and yo are done. to link to the target follow the same steps for making a regular link and when the link window appears you will see the names of the pages targets in the box on the bottom. Just double click on the target you want and you're done. I linked the Link from this text line to a target at the top of the page I named top. Go ahead and try it. I also put a link at the top of the page that jumps back here called Bottom.

Linking is fairly simple. Here is how it looks in HTML
<A HREF="http://www.2fords.net/allanon/startrek.html">Star Trek</A>
to link to a target within the page add a # and then the target's name.
<A HREF="http://www.2fords.net/allanon/startrek.html#bottom">Star Trek Bottom of Page</A>

A target on a page looks like
<A NAME="BOTTOM"></A>

The letter A Is a command. It stands for Anchor. Notice how the A command has to be closed ?
