Make a local web by linking your home page to your Web page resume.

Link your resume to your home page.

Test the links with a Web browser.

Cope with case sensitivity in hypertext and hyperpicture links.

Creating Hypertext and Hyperpicture Links
The use of links make the Web easier to navigate. One benefit of hypertext links is that one huge document can be broken up into smaller chunks which the viewer can navigate using hyperlinks.
Chapter Eighteen contains information describing how to create hypertext links between sections of a single page, separate pages, and separate websites. You can also use hyperpicture links to create navigational icons. For example, if you wanted to use a graphic as a hotlink to take the viewer to another site or web page, you could use the following coding:

<A HREF="index.htm"><IMG SRC="icon.gif" border="0"></A> This coding would allow you to use an image, in this case one called icon.gif, as a navigational button to take the viewer to the Internet Literacy Home Page. For this to work properly, you would need to have an image file called icon.gif stored in the same directory as your html file. Use View Document Source to see the coding which has been used to make this clickable navigational icon. You will notice an additional piece of information included with the coding for the image. The border=0 attribute eliminates the blue or purple box which appears around a clickable image.

If you click on the button above, you will be taken to the Internet Literacy Home Page.

<A HREF="MAILTO:jlagier@hartnell.edu">Send Email</A>
-- Or --
<A HREF="MAILTO:jlagier@hartnell.edu"><IMG SRC="mail.gif" border="0"></A>
These two html coding options permit you to create a hot link on your page which a viewer can use to send an email message. In this case, the coding would provide a link to your instructor's email address.
Use View Document Source to see the coding which has been used for the following email links. Try each of them to see how they work.
