The following example creates a web page that has a link to a website:
| Example |
<html> |
|
<head> |
<title> My list of jokes </title> |
</head> |
|
<body> |
|
<h1>This is my list of jokes </h1> |
|
<ul> |
<li>Classic jokes </li> |
<li>Math jokes </li> |
<li>Food jokes</li> |
</ul> |
|
<hr/> |
|
<ol> |
<li>Crazy jokes</li> |
<li>Ethnic jokes</li> |
<li>Golf jokes</li> |
</ol> |
|
<hr/> |
|
<A A href="http://expertrating.com/" target="_blank"> Link to expertrating </A> |
|
</body> |
</html> |
|
| |
This is how the web page looks:
The background of this page is white. This is because style sheets have not been applied in this example. Style sheets enables a good amount of formatting to the web page.
Clicking on the hypertext link ‘expertrating’ in the example opens the website www.expertrating.com .
This is www.expertrating.com
