Creating inbound links

Go to the <a href=“menu.htm’>menu</a> of this site

The above given example shows an internal link in your html document. The word ‘menu’ is hyperlinked and directs you towards another page that has the menu of the site.

Internal links are links which direct you towards another page within the same website.
However, if we want this window to open in a specific window such as the main window then the code would be:

Go to the <a href=“menu.htm” target=“main”>menu</a> of this site

It is simple, if you want the window to open a certain window in a specific window you simply have to add a constraint to the <a href> tag. In this example, the constraint was ‘target=“main” ’ which restricted the window to open in a specific window.

Below given are some important target names which never change:

Names	Functions
_blank	Opens the page in a new browser window
_parent	Opens the page into a frame which is superior to the hyperlinked frame
_self	Opens the page in the current window
_top	Cancels all the frames and opens the link in a full browser window
