Email link

Links

Due to the amount of spam an email address seems to generate now I don't use this method on the internet, only on interanets.The alternative is to create a picture of the email address and insert that with a note like "Sorry no link is here any more so you have to type it yourself"
The other way around this is to put a link with part of the address in and get the user to fill in the rest. i.e. in the link below we would say "to email us click on the link below and change 'here' to 'omniautos' this is to stop programmes takeing your email address out of the source code and targetting you.
To get this email link Email us add the following

<A HREF="mailto:your_email_address@here">Email us</A>
mailto:whoever@wherever can also be used in emails and you'll find you can click on them to email whoever This doesn't work in all cases I use Yahoo when away from home and it doesn't work in that
If you want to sort incoming emails from your sites you might want to add
<A HREF="mailto:your_email_address@here?subject="the links page">Email us</A>
Email us As you will note this adds 'the links page' in the subject heading, so if you have a number of sites you just change the subject="whatever" to suit then in your mail box set up a filter to sort any mail with 'whatever' as the subect into a new folder/directory
a link to a web site will look like this HTMLPAGE
<A HREF="http://www.omniautos.f9.co.uk/htmlcode/index.htm">HTMLPAGE</A>
a link to your hard drive will look like this C:\
<A HREF="file:///c|/">C:\</A>
a link to a file in a nearby directory will look like one of these a file in the
same dir <A HREF="links.htm">same dir</A>
back one dir <A HREF="../index.htm">back one dir</A>
back two dir <A HREF="../../index.htm">back two dir</A>
down one dir <A HREF="images/picagif.gif">down one dir</A>
back one down one <A HREF="../links/index.htm">back one down one</A>
 This is the way to get links around your site if you use anything else then they are only going to work either only on your hard disk <A HREF="file:///c|/">Disk C:\</A> or only after loading them on the net <A HREF="http://www.wherever.com/">website</A>. A good test is to copy your site on to a different drive or rename the root directory and see if your local links still work. The other thing that cannot be over emphasised is remember use the same case as although if you link to a 'Test.Htm' file on your hard disk and the file is called 'test.htm' it will link but when you up load it, it won't the web is case specific I try to use all lowercase that way it's easier to spot.
 If you use the full http://www.whatever.com in an email friends can click on it and it should link them straight with the site. This doesn't work in all cases I use Yahoo when away from home and it doesn't work in that.

TARGETS

 Sometimes you just want to go to another point on the page to do this first you need a target to link to as in TOP OF THE PAGE which will take you to a target at the top of the page which is done with
<A NAME="top">
and the link is
<A HREF="#top">TOP OF THE PAGE</A>
or if it's on another page it could be
<A HREF="index.htm#top">TOP OF INDEX THE PAGE</A>
