[INDEX] Chapter 3 - Using HyperLinks
Now we get to some fun, internet-type stuff. This chapter will present common ways to use text-based hyperlinks (links) in your web page. We'll look at the anchor tag and ways to use it to build clickable-links that point to different files, different web sites, and different places within the same or another file.

If you are already quite familiar with all of these things, you can skip this chapter.

Before beginning this chapter, you should be familiar with the HTML skeleton file (we won't explicitly show it here), inserting text and headings, forming paragraphs and causing line-breaks, preventing line-breaks, and using the explicit "space" special character. Review the Introduction, and the previous chapters if any of those things sound like mumbo-jumbo to you.

Upon completing the lessons, we'll offer a short quiz whereby you can access your skills. If you have some prior HTML experience, you may want to begin with the quiz, to find out if you might "skip the chapter". To finish the chapter, we'll present a practice exercise, to make sure everything is crystal-clear. An example solution to the exercise will be made available via link, in case you're having trouble getting your web page to work (or for those who don't believe in practicing). The solution (yours or ours), can be used as a starting template in building your own oh-so-fine web page. Also, we'll offer a short quiz whereby you can access your skills.
