Adding Links (hyperlinks)

You can add links (which are called hyperlinks) like runboard does but runboard does not use html coding for this.

You can use hyperlinks in email programs and MS Word etc.

The tag for a hyperlink begins like this....

<a href="URL goes here">name of link goes here</a>

Here is an example:-

<a href="http://www.google.com">Click Here</a>

What this would look like when viewed on a email or webpage is this....

Click Here

When you click on the underlined link it will take you to the google site. Now, to make the window open in a New Window so you keep the page you were looking at we need to amend the HTML slightly...

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Click Here</a>

Re: Adding Links (hyperlinks)

That's odd. the underlined words "Click here" aren't active.

At any rate, great html tips! I hope people take advantage of them. That's easy, but good stuff you're imparting.

Ivan,

I typed in the underline link to show people what a link may look like on a website as an example, it's not an actual link, just for show
