Simple, primitive HTML question

Factual Questions

i used to know html coding, but I’m trying to refresh. I remember just aobut everything else, but I can’t remember how to publish a notepad sourcecode page as a real page that would have the hyperlink on it. I also think that i need to create the page to be linked to. I don’t want to go online with these, just on my computer.
these are the only things that I can’t remember.
can anybody help?
thanks,

So you’re saying that you want to create an offline HTML document that contains a link? What you want would probably look something like this:



<html>
<head><title>Title goes here</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="www.yoururl.com">Link text here</a>
</body>
<html>

That’s about as simple as they come. Save your document as whatever.html, and your browser will automatically load when you load that file.

Hope it helps.

Oops, that last <html> should be </html>, but you get the idea.

if you’ve got HTML files mapped to your plain text editor instead of your browser, then it won’t show the hyperlink when you double-click. But there should be a ‘file open’ option in your browser that will let you see it.

Also, you can map multiple applications to a single file type in recent OS-es… well, in windows anyway. :slight_smile:
