4. “What is a hyperlink?” In computing, a hyperlink is a reference or navigation element in a document to another section of the same document or to another document that may be on or part of a (different) domain.

5. “Huh? English, please!” OK. Put simply, a hyperlink is an icon , graphic , or word in a file that, when clicked on with the mouse, automatically opens another file for viewing. ?

6. “Can you show us an example?” Sure. The images to the right are all examples of commonly used hyperlinks: Internet Explorer 7 shortcut “ GO” button Uniform Resource Locator (URL) “ FORWARD” button “ CLICK HERE” hypertext In fact, just about any icon, image, graphic, picture, word, or text that gets you from one place to another can be a hyperlink. http://morningstareducation.com 1 2 3 4 5

7. “That’s clear. What is hypertext ?” “ Hypertext” is the basis for the Web. When you surf the Web with your Web browser, the “http” that begins the URL displayed in your browser’s address bar or status bar stands for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol,” and HTML, the language used for creating Web pages, is “Hypertext Markup Language.”

8. “Why is hypertext useful?” The whole idea of hypertext is that you don’t have to read it page by page, like a book. It contains “hyperlinks” that, when clicked, instantly transport you somewhere else—another point in the same document or Web page or another document or Web page.

9. “How does that work?” This like turning from your current page in a book to the notes or index at the back of the book, or finding a page number in a table of contents and turning to that page, except that the process is automated and instant.
