Assignment # 7

- Assignment # 7

Your assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of creating links. You can change the colors of the links if you wish. I do not expect you to link within the page yet. However, if you want to try, I can give a separate assignment for that. You will create a page listing lets say the top ten sites you visit most often. That should be easy enough! Label your assignment file bl7.html. I will give you three days as usual. Good luck! I know you can do it!

Thar you go. I resisted the urge to be a smartie pants and do one of those anchor links within a page as well. I've coded many of those by hand. Give me an assignment for that. I wanna practice. They're useful!

Give the lesson, please, I am eager to learn all that I can!!!!!!

Okay, since everyone is asking to do an assignment with anchor links, then I will post one up in a few hours. Give me a few to think about what I want to assign ya. Can you last that long? ^_~

[argento_occhi]

Oh, I think so. :) Yay! Nuther assignment! Those anchor links are cool!

Okay so far, I love everyones assignments. Great job! So I figured I would give you your second assignment. I want you all to create a page about your favorite actor/actress. So this assignment might take more than a day but you should have it complete by Monday. I want three sections in which you use anchor links. I will leave these sections up to you. It can be something like basic statistics, pictures, and links to other sites. So this is entirely up to you all. Label your assignment bl7a.html. So if you have any questions please pm me. I hope you enjoy this assignment.

okok, I know i am behind.........i will get to workin

[argento_occhi]

Oh, man, I'm not sure I have a favourite actor. I'll see if I can find someone I like enough to do this on. I'll definitely give it a go, though. :D Yay, anchor links!

Here's the other bit...

[amakaliani]

what's the differnce between anchor links and other links....?

[argento_occhi]

Anchors link to parts within a page, for example, on a page with lots of text, there's a link at the bottom that says, Go to Top that when clicked takes you back to the top of the page without having to scroll. External links link to another separate web page.

I hope that's right, least that's my understanding of them.

that makes sense............like her example at the top that took me to the bottom of the page? And is there a difference in coding?

Here's amakaliani's lesson (http://www.geocities.com/revhpskaliani/bl7.html)



(i found the texture'd background off the site that was provided for the intial textured background assignment. I have found so many that I haven't gone looking for other pages.....:lookwhats )

THANK YOU so much, xentor!!!!!!

[Xentor]

Welcome!

[Evendusk]

I don't really have one favorite actor but here's one I admire.

BTW, how would I post this URL as an external link on MW? I've tried but instead of the link popping up all that shows up is the coding.

[amakaliani]

Welcome!
...:D.....

ooooh, now I have a much better idea of what I want to do!!!

Here's the second part. This was really fun.

Yeah, just like that. Coding is different in that you specify and name anchors within the page then link to them.

So at the top of the page, you might have <a name="top"></a>, and to link to that from the bottom of the page, you'd have <a href="#top"></a> Clicking on it takes you to the anchor point named #top, which is the top of the page.

So it's like an external link in that you use the same <a> tag, but you name the part of the page you want to link to and link to that instead.

I hope that's a clear enough explanation.

Actually I think it did explain it.....and while I am still a bit unsure...I am going to give it a try. Been working on my written content today and working on writing it all out first...



And awesome page, bookgirl!!!!!!!!!!1

[argento_occhi]

That's good. I was hoping it was clear enough. Bug me if you need any help. I'm working on my content now, now that I've finally decided on someone I like enough to bother doing this about.

EDIT:
<a name="Dec05"></a> <-- name tag doesn't need the #, only the <a href="#Dec"></a> does when you link to that anchor.

Good thing I checked that.

Argent

[Evendusk]

I thought it was the other way around with <a href> being the link in the text or at the top of the page and <a name> being the picture or text being linked to. At least that's how I did it and it works.

Unless I misunderstood you which is completely possible. And if that's the case just ignore this post. :)

[argento_occhi]

You have to name the thing you want to link to <a name>, then link to it <a href>. I thought that's what I said. At least, that's what I meant, if I didn't say it right. I'm kinda sleep-deprived at the moment.

Also, it doesn't matter where the thing being linked to is. I was just using the Go to Top thing as an example. I use it on my website's updates page to link to old updates. It's a long page, and the updates are split into months. So the list of months is up the top, and it links to places down the page. The Go to Top thing (which I'm considering including, though I'm sure I'm the only one who cares about that updates archive) is the opposite, having the link below the point in the page it's linking to. As long as you have both in the page somewhere, it doesn't matter where they are. You can link to the next line down if you really want to.

Nuther edit, but meh:
Not feeling too well right now, and I have an exam tomorrow morning. Probably won't get this done til Tuesday. Hope that's ok. Stomach's being horrid, that's all.
