Linking it with Anchors

The power of the World Wide Web is the ability to create hypertext links to other information. That other information may be other WWW pages, graphics, sounds, downloading a shareware program, viewing contents of a Gopher server, initiating a log-in to a remote computer, or connecting to an ftp site. The World Wide Web uses an addressing scheme known as URLs, or Uniform Resource Locators, to indicate the location of such items. These hypertext links, the ones underlined in blue, are known as Anchors. In the next lessons we will:
