[an error occurred while processing this directive] Including Links to Other Resources This page demonstrates how to create hotlinks to other files and resources, such as pages formatted in HTML, images, or video and sound clips. In fact, just about any type of information that can be stored in a computer may be linked into a page on the Web.

Download template for lesson three, and place the altered and new sections into the file containing your home page.

Here's an example of what the your home page will look like afterwards.

Displaying Images on Your Home Page To display an image on your home page, two things are necessary. First, you must create a tag that points to it: <IMG SRC="your.gif"> Second, a file must exist at the location the tag points to. To transfer a image file to your account, you must install it using a FTP client. For information on how to do this, see Installing Files Using FTP. Hotlinks to other Files Here is a standard list, exactly like the list in lesson two, with hotlinks to various files inserted:

<UL>
<LI><A HREF="nuts.html">Nuts</A>
<LI><A HREF="bolts.html">Bolts</A>
<LI><A HREF="screws.html">Screws</A>
</UL>

A detailed explanation of an one of the above lines:

<LI>
This tag tells the browser the line is part of a list.
<A HREF=
This portion of a hotlink tag tells the browser that a link to another file is being created, and that the location of that file will follow, in quotes.
"screws.html">
This is the filename of the document that will appear when the hotlink is selected.
Screws
This is the label for the hotlink. It is not related to the filename, but should give some idea of what people selecting it will receive.
</A>
This portion of the tag closes a hotlink.
Creating a "hotlinked" e-mail address

John Doe, (<A HREF="mailto:johndoe@acme.com">johndoe@acme.com</A>)

When a person selects a hotlink with "mailto:address@site.com" inside it, a form will be displayed by browsers which understand this type of link, allowing this person to send e-mail to the address in the hotlink. Unfortunately, NCSA Mosaic does not yet understand this type of link, so many people will be unable to use it.
