  8. Review Practice – External Links • Create a folder and name it camshots. • Download all the files from the practice folder in tutorial.02 and save them in the camshots folder. • Open contesttxt.htm and save it as contest.html. • In contest.html, mark the text BetterPhoto.com as an hypertext link pointing to the URL http://www.betterphoto.com. • Set the attribute of the link so that it opens in a new browser window or tab.

  9. Email Links • What is an email link? • Syntax: <a href=“mailto:address”>text</a> • Example: <a href=“mailto:caroline.collier@gcsu.edu”>Collier</a> • Adding the email subject to email link: <a href=“mailto:address?subject=your subject”>text</a> • Example: <a href=“mailto:caroline.collier@gcsu.edu?subject=Project%20Two”>Collier</a>

  10. Review Practice – Email Link • In the aside element, mark the text Gerry Hayward as a hypertext link to an email address with ghayward@camshots.com as the email address. • Add Photo Contest as the subject line within the email link.

  11. Internal Links • Link to another Web page within the same Web site • “Independent” internal link • Internal links (part of the navigational bar) • Internal links to a local file

Internal Links – Navigation Bar • Use of CSS to format the navigation bar • Common use of internal links for the navigation bar: The links are part of an unordered list inside the nav structural element. • Example: <nav> <ul> <li><a href=“index.htm”>HOME</a></li> <li><a href=“about_us.htm>ABOUT US</a></li> </ul> </nav>

  15. Review Practice – Navigation Bar • Directly below the header element, create a navigation list containing an unordered list with the following list items as hyperlinks: • Home linked to the index.html file • Tips linked to the tipweek.html file • Contest linked to the contest.html file • Glossary linked to the photogloss.html file • Copy the navigation bar and paste it on index.html, tipweek.html, and photogloss.html.
