What is a URL
-
Before we get into links themselves, it would be wise to make sure
we understand what a URL is, because URLs are basic to creating
links.
- A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is the most basic information
about where a web page is located on the web.
It includes information
about which web server the page is stored on,
in which directory it is
located in, its name and the protocol we will use to fetch it.
- Thus a URL will look like the following:
http://www.eeye.com.sg/Tutorials/Web_design/index.html
- In this case, we will use the HTTP protocol to contact the server
named "www.eeye.com.sg". We will tell that server that we are looking
for a document called "index.html" that is contained in the directory
"Tutorials/Web_design".
