The Internal Page Link

1. In a previous project, you learned how to create an external link using the ANCHOR tag. This was the <A HREF> tag that you used to link your page to other pages on the WWW.
   
   
2. In this project, you will learn how to create an internal link so that users can quickly navigate within your Web page. An internal link uses the <A NAME> tag.
   
   
3. To see an example of how the Internal Page link works, look at the Glossary of Terms. Once the Glossary is open in your browser, view the source code to see where the links are placed.
   
   
4. Open your Tables Web page. Place the cursor just above the TABLE tag.
   
   
5. Type the internal link tag followed by a caption that describes the purpose of the link:
   
   <A HREF="#bottom">Click here to go to the bottom of this page</A>
   
   Note: this tag can be placed anywhere on a Web page, depending upon where you want the link to appear.
   
   
6. Your Web page should be similar to the one illustrated below:
   
   
   
   
7. Next. scroll to the bottom of your text file, and add the rest of the link:
   
   <A NAME="bottom">
   
   
8. Your text file should now be similar to the one illustrated below:
   
   
   
   
   
9. Save your file and view it in your browser. Test the link - when you click the link, the page should jump to the bottom of the page. You can use as many of these interal page links as you want. Note that this link will work only if you have more than a page-full of content, so you may have to expand your Web page to include additional content.
