Cornerstones of Dreamweaver Design: The Fabulous Hyperlink
The web is many things, but here’s one thing for certain: The web wouldn’t exist at all without the hyperlink. We use it to link from page to page, from a web page to email, from a point in a document to another point within that document. We use links to download files from web pages, and to attach behaviours to, as in the case of JavaScript rollovers.
In this tutorial, you'll learn about the many different links available in HTML, how to form them for maximum usefulness, how to style them by removing the default underlines and how to ensure that they are usable for all visitors.
