Head First HTML with CSS

linking to other web pages
How do we link to other Web sites?
URLs aren’t just for typing into browsers; you can use them right in your
HTML. And, of course, right on cue, the Starbuzz CEO has a new task
for you: make a link from the main Starbuzz page over to the caffeine
information at http://buzz.headfirstlabs.com. As you can

Fantastic! We’re up and
running on the Web. I’m
already hearing great buzz
about our site in the stores. By the way, we’ve got a new
caffeine awareness program; we

over on buzz.headfirstlabs.com from
our site?
Caffeine Buzz
An everyday, normal, gardenvariety
element.
We’ve put a URL in the href. Clicking on the label “Caffeine Buzz”
will retrieve a page from buzz.headfirstlabs.com.
That’s all there is to it. To link to any resource on the Web, all you need is its
Uniform Resource Locator, which goes in the element as the value of the
href attribute. Let’s go ahead and add this in the Starbuzz “index.html” page.
