Links of all kinds

Handy list of days of the week

This page demonstrates various kinds of links. The simplest kind of link simply connects you to a page on another site, such as the Twinplanets Home Page.

You may want to actually let the viewer see the URL they're going to, if you expect your page to be printed out and saved for some reason. To do this, just use the URL as the text to be displayed as the link, like this: www.ala.org

When you do this, it's very important to remember that in the HREF version of the URL, you must include the http:// at the beginning of the URL, even though you don't have to display it to the user.

Links don't have to be text. You can also use a graphic as a link, as at the left here. This link isn't very useful, though, because the user has no idea what it goes to! (Of course, if you create a graphic which includes a built-in label of some kind this isn't a problem).

What's a little less confusing is to include a caption of some kind. Even better still is to include the caption as part of the link, so that if the user clicks on either the graphic or the text link it will work, like this:
