Ma Adding Hyperlinks to Pages te FrontPage 2002 ­ Level 1 TOPIC A y ria l LESSON 3 When discussing the Web, the protocol is generally HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The protocol tells your browser how to ask for the file it's trying to locate. The rest of the URL tells the browser where to find the file. After the colon, usually separated by two forward slashes, is the name of the server, or host, that provides the file. After the server name, separated by one slash (/), comes the path: usually a folder name and a filename. So in the following URL, http://microsoft. com/office/default. asp, "http" is the protocol, the server name is "microsoft. com, " the folder name is "office, " and the file name is "default. asp.

They provide depth and just-in-time flexibility to your content by allowing you to leverage supporting information that's available internally on your web or externally on the World Wide Web. The fastest way to add a text hyperlink is to just type a complete URL in an open page in Page view and let FrontPage convert it into a link for you; however, for more control, we recommend the following: se Do No Table 3-1: Examples of Hyperlinks Hyperlink Type Typical Address nc e Example: tC Although a link is ordinarily used for connecting one page to another, a bookmark link can connect to a specific target location either within the same page or a target location in a different page within a web. Bookmark links allow visitors to jump to a specific location on a page rather than requiring them to scroll around trying to locate the content they want. Bookmarks can come in handy in long pages that may have several sections. Typically, bookmark links are relative addresses preceded by a pound sign (#), such as services. htm/ #repairs. Ma te Addresses can be either relative or absolute. Relative addresses, for linking resources that reside within a particular web's folder structure (internal), use only the path--omitting the protocol and server name. For example, images/logo. gif is a relative address. Absolute references can be used to link internal resources as well, but typically they're used to connect to resources outside your web. These URLs must be complete, including protocol, server location, and file path. The aforementioned Microsoft URL is an example of an absolute address. op 35 y ria l LESSON 3 On the rare occasion that you type a URL that contains two forward slashes (//) in the URL's path name, at the time this was written, FrontPage displays the link properly on screen, but changes the URL behind the scenes, eliminating the second slash. You will need to modify the underlying URL manually if you want it to be correct. 1 2 3 Select existing text for the link or place the insertion point where the new link will be located.
