Including links on your page

1
Including links on your page
Recall that hypertext allows you to
have references within your document that
point to other documents of information.
These hyperlinks are extremely useful when one is
creating web pages. To add in such a link, you
need the URL for the other page and a special tag
set shown on the next slide.

Changing the background color
To change the background color of your web page,
you can add some information to a tagset we
already know, namely, ltbodygt ltbody
bgcolorFF00FFgt will turn the background to a
pleasantly hideous shade of pink, for example.

Including pictures
To include a picture (A .GIF or .JPG file, for
example), you need Yet Another Tag ) ltimg
srcfilename.gifgt for a GIF file or ltimg
srcfilename.jpggt for a JPG file (Note, the
filename.gif is just a relative URL, you could
also use someone elses pictures, via
http//machine/user/pic.gif )

Enough! I want this to be easy!
Web pages can be as easy or as difficult as you
want them to be. Making an initial page is
fairly easy, weve done it with a simple text
editor in fact. But it is also a bit too
primitive, so instead we turn to one of any
number of HTML editors.

Using Netscapes Editor

• Bring up Netscape
• Click on File
• Choose New
• Choose Document
• Choose Blank (for now)

(These steps may vary slightly from one version
to the next, so play around w/ it)

Saving your web page
Depending on what server software your system
administrator has chosen to use, the proper name
and location of your web page may vary. Check
with your system administrator for the right
selection for your local setup.
