The basic process is the same for all links. You need to enter the <A HREF="; tag in front of a URL, and end this with ">. Next comes some type of text or image that will serve as the visible place for the user to "click" on. Lastly we close the tag with < /A>.
Example:
Some types of links you can make are:
| Text to Text | Image to Text |
| Text to Image | Image to Image |
| Text to Sound | Image to Sound |
| Text to Movie | Image to Movie |
| Text to E-Mail | Image to E-Mail |
. Lastly click on "OKAY" and the link will be added to your HTML page.
It will look something like this:
<A HREF="http://www.school.edu/history/somepage.html">Select The Desired Text</A>
The line in your HTML page will look something like this:
<A HREF="http://www.gfsc.nasa.gov/nasa_hompage.html"><IMG SRC="graphics/2moons.gif""></A>
You create a link like this just as you would create a text to text link(You can still use the Files an Images button in the html editors tool bar to creat your inline images.). The only difference would be that the URL you enter for the image would be a gif file instead of a html file.

Notice this is not an HTML file, the au at the end indicates it is an audio clip.
Use the link button to make this type of link. First select your inline image, and then click on the link button. In the address window type the sound clip URL.
Use the link button to make this type of link. First select your text, and click on the link button. In the address window type the movie URL.
The URL may look something like this:
Click here if you would like to see this clip of the Simpsons
Notice that this file ends with an .mpg, this indicates this is a movie. You need to have a helper application that can play movies to view this link. Many are downloadable for free. Here is one source of Audio and Movie helper applications.
Use the link button to make this type of link. First select your inline image, and then click on the link button. In the address window type the mvie URL.
This is a really neat way to make it easy for those reading your pages to send a reply to you or someone else. What you need to do is enter your e-mail address where the URL typically goes and then enter your Name in the readable text area so people know who they are mailing to(jdoe@fanal.gov).
See the example below:
<A HREF="mailto:jdoe@fnal.gov">(jdoe@fnal.gov)
</A>
If you want to give it a try you can send me a short note, (smeehan@fnalv.fnal.gov).
You may wish to use an Icon or a small picture to act as the launching button to pull up an e-mail message. An icon often is considered more user friendly by some, but be sure that the icon conveys a clear message. Again you set up an inline image and then select this text in your HTML document. Next you click the link button and select other in the Link Type window. (These steps work for those using the Web Weaver program.) This type of link does not start with http or ftp it starts out with mailto:. See an example below.<A HREF="mailto:jdoe@fnal.gov"><IMG Align=Top SRC="graphics/mail.gif"> </A>
