__**HYPERLINK:**__ noun

A way of connecting different [|Web pages] together on the [|Internet]. A hyperlink is a word or graphic display on one Webpage that allows a [|computer] to shift to another related Webpage. Also called a link. (Source: []) Hyperlinks are created with an "href" tag (**h**yperlink **ref**erence). In it's simplest form the tag looks like this:  Go To Page 1  In this example, the text "Go To Page 1" becomes a hyperlink to a page called "page1.html". The link looks like this:Go To Page 1 There are two distinct types of hyperlink: "absolute" and "relative". Absolute links are quite simple, but relative links take a bit of getting used to. Relative links are actually divided into two further categories: "document-relative" and "site-root-relative".

__**A Hyperlink has four main parts:**__ A moniker that identifies the target's location.A string for the location within the target.A friendly, or displayable, name for the target.A string that can contain additional parameters.

Hyperlinks contain special commands for the Web browser. They instruct the Web browser to jump to: so that you can take a look at that as well. Hyperlinks are usually underlined and different coloured text, or they could be diagrams /graphics. Notice when the mouse pointer moves over a hyperlink it changes into a hand
 * a different place on the same Web page
 * a different Web page within a particular Web site you may be visiting
 * or to jump to another Web site on a completely different computer somewhere else

**There are differnt types of hyperlinks such as the:**

Document-Relative Links(ex: Go To Page 1)Site-Root-Relative Links(ex: Go To Page 4)Targets(ex: Go To Page 1)Link to a Specific Part of a Page (Internal Hyperlink) (ex: Part 2)E-Mail Links (mailto) (ex: Click Here to Email Me)Absolute Links (ex: Go] To My Site) __**Hyperlink Tips**__ if you also hold CTRL while you click on a hyperlink, the target web page will load into a separate tab page of your browser



A hyperlink (or link) is a word, group of words, or image that you can click on to jump to a new document or a new section within the current document.When you move the cursor over a link in a Web page, the arrow will turn into a little hand.Links are specified in HTML using the  tag. The  tag can be used in two ways:
 * 1) To create a link to another document, by using the href attribute
 * 2) To create a bookmark inside a document, by using the name attribute.

HTML Link SyntaxThe HTML code for a link is simple. It looks like this: //Link text//</a> The href attribute specifies the destination of a link. ExampleVisit W3Schools</a> which will display like this: [|Visit W3Schools] Clicking on this hyperlink will send the user to W3Schools' homepage. (Source: [])
