Hiperlink




  • This will take you from one Internet site to the next with a simple click of your mouse. You can usually tell where a link is because the writing will look different. For instance, some links appear in bold, some are underlined, and some are even attached to pictures. Also called a hiperlink.




  • Using hypertext, a link is a selectable connection from one word, picture, or information object to another.




  • In a multimedia environment such as the World Wide Web, such objects can include sound and motion video sequences.




  • The most common form of link is the highlighted word or picture that can be selected by the user (with a mouse or in some other fashion), resulting in the immediate delivery and view of another file.




  • The highlighted object is referred to as an anchor. The anchor reference and the object referred to constitute a hypertext link.




  • This will take you from one Internet site to the next with a simple click of your mouse. You can usually tell where a link is because the writing will look different. For instance, some links appear in bold, some are underlined, and some are even attached to pictures. Also called a link.




  • On the Web or other hypertext systems, hyperlink is a synonym for both link and hypertext link. Possibly, the term originated because "link" was not felt to be specific enough. And it's shorter than "hypertext link."
