One of the best parts of HTML is its ability to hyperlink to pretty much anything. This lets you link to external websites, and pages within your own site easily. In this module, you’ll learn how to hyperlink and how to use named anchors to move around pages. After this, you’ll learn about the difference between absolute and relative URLs, and when to use them. We’ll end the module off with a discussion on how to include mailto links on your sites.
