HTML Links, JS Functions, and Intro to CSS Layout

Links

Links are meant to connect your page to other pages, or to let you navigate to locations inside your page.

The </a> is the opening tag inside it you will link a website in href= "" between the double cotations, and a description inside alt= "", the link is closed with </a> and between the opening and closing tag a text is written or an image is added so the browser will move you to your link when clicking on them. Linking to a part in your page or other pages is possible, just href the id of that part.

Links can be used to link external pages, or pages within the same page for which you just have to write its loation inside the repository.

Emails can be linked using mailto:

The link opens by default in the same current window, this can be changed by using target="_blank"

Layout

Firstly, we have to differentiate between block elements and inline elements, block elements take the whole width of a web paage, while inline elements only uses the area of its contents letting elements flow beside each other.

In order to control the position of elements in your website consider the following options:

scheme	description
normal flow	block elements will be above each other
relative Positioning	to move top, bot, left, or right but in the same position
absolute positioning	takes the element out of normal flow
