| A hyperlink is a direct connection from the current location of the cursor to another location. | ||
| You can use the anchor tag to create a hyperlink to your
email address. This is called a mailto
link. When you create a mailto link, it takes the visitor to a New Message box in the mail program of the browser. The message is pre-addressed to the email address you designate in the tag. |
||
| Format | The format of a mailto link is <A HREF="mailto:[emailaddress]">[clickable text ]</A> where [emailaddress] is your email address |
|
