Link Exercise

Click here to go to the ETSU home page.

In this brief exercise, you will be creating a number of different types of links. The first thing you must do is download this HTML file to your local directory. You shouldn't need any other files as things like the images are referenced using absolute addressing. If this file is open in your browser, you should only have to select "Save As" from the File menu.

Each of the following numbered exercises has you creating a different type of link. Most of them have a string called THIS TEXT in them which is the text that you will be creating the link around. Make sure you can complete each exercise before moving to the next one. This is just an in-class exercise and will not be turned in for grading.

  1. Using the text THIS TEXT, create a link using absolute addressing to the CSCI web page http://csciwww.etsu.edu.
  2. Create a simple web page and save it in this same local directory where this file is saved. Using THIS TEXT, create a link using relative addressing to this file you've created.
  3. If you scroll down this page, you should find a paragraph beginning with the text "RIGHT HERE!" (Keep scrolling, it may be way down there.) Create a link with THIS TEXT that will jump to that paragraph. You will have to use the fragment method of creating links. BTW, if it doesn't work like you think it should, it might be because your browser window is too large. "Unmaximize" your browser window and see if that helps.
  4. There is a fragment named "co" at the URL http://faculty.etsu.edu/tarnoff/syll1710.html. Create a link so that when the user clicks on THIS TEXT, the browser will not only load the new page, but hop directly to the fragment within that newly loaded page.
  5. Set up the tags so that the image at the top of this page (the ETSU logo) links to the absolute URL http://www.etsu.edu. The image should NOT have any colored border around it.
  6. Make it so that THIS TEXT is a link to the e-mail address tarnoff@mail.etsu.edu. When the user clicks on the link, an e-mail window should automatically pop up with the "To" field containing my e-mail address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIGHT HERE! This paragraph should be the "destination" of your fragment link described above.
