In Chapter 54, you begin to learn about servlets, which, in turn, requires you to understand HTML links.
Within your HTML file, you can place a link that refers to another HTML file. Links consist of URLs embedded in the first tag of an addresstag pair. For example, the following text contains a link:
<html> <head> <title>Welcome to the Link Demonstration</title> </head> <body> <hr> This file contains only a link to the <a href="file:///d:/phw/onto/java/test.html"> meter demonstration. </a> <hr> </body> </html>
Network browsers generally highlight the text between the two tags in some way that marks that text as a link. If you click on that text, your web browser will switch to the referenced HTML file.
