Building a Web Page
Links
Links: One always links to an anchor point
Every page has an implicit anchor point at the start
In addition, can add anchor points to the middle of the page by
using
Insert->Named anchor point
If text is highlighted, it will default to that text
OR you can use a name of your choosing
To point to an anchor point you need to know
The page
The point in the page
<a href=“page#point”> linkpoint </a>
Identifying links: page
Absolute address (remote external)
Full url: http://...
Use when its not part of your web site
Definition: web site – a collection of web pages that work together
Relative address (local external)
Just use the file name
Use when its part of your web site
You must use move it with your home page
Confirm that the href does NOT include any of the path name
Current page
No page required
HTML Internal Links
Internal points are called anchors
To create an anchor point
To move to an anchor point
<a name=“anchor"></a>
<a href="#anchor">Link text</a>
What differences do you observe?
Two items
Anchor is a point, not a piece of text
Anchor points have a “#” pre-pended to the name
HTML Local Links
Other pages that are always kept with the
current one
Not only the same machine, but the same folder
All pages are automatically defined as access
points
Connect with the same access tag
<a href=“other page">Link text</a>
HTML Remote Links
Other locations on the Internet
Connect with the same access tag
Any URL
<a href=“other full ref">Link text</a>
Now need to use full URL
e.g., http://www.cs.unc.edu/~pozefsky/15September05 .ppt
Demos
The Lighter Side
Introducing the Book
Posting a Web Site
First, a bit about file systems
File systems
How data is stored: 1s and 0s
But where is it stored?
Files
Simply stream of bits
May be text or represent other things
May be one stream or multiple subunits
What type of data are HTML files?
File Systems
A means of organizing and structuring files
A disk stores 0s and 1s
How do you find a specific file?
How do you know where the file begins and
ends?
How do you know if there are subunits in the file
or if it is just a single stream?
UNC Site
UNC website
Everything that is going to be available on the web must be
in your public_html folder
Treats index.html as your home page
Default is “This page is blank”
Need to get your files to their server
Two choices:
afs – too fragile
ftp
