| This will take
you from one Internet site to the next with a simple click of your
mouse. You can usually tell where a link is because the writing will
look different. For instance, some links appear in bold, some are
underlined, and some are even attached to pictures. Also called a
hyperlink.
Using hypertext, a link is a
selectable connection from one word, picture, or information object
to another. In a multimedia environment such as the World Wide Web,
such objects can include sound and motion video sequences. The most
common form of link is the highlighted word or picture that can be
selected by the user (with a mouse or in some other fashion),
resulting in the immediate delivery and view of another file. The
highlighted object is referred to as an anchor. The anchor reference
and the object referred to constitute a hypertext link. |
