HYPERLINK ON A WEB PAGE

When you click a hyperlink to another website (assuming you are

connected to the internet), this is what happens. Your browser gathers

the information about the link and sends the request to something called

a naming server.

Hyperlinks are links in e-documents and are the foundation of the

networked structure that is the World Wide Web. Clicking on

a hyperlink enables you to jump between different texts elements in a

document or between different websites and, therefore, a non-linear

organization of content.

ADVANTAGES OF HYPERLINKS

 Credibility

Think of it as a new age footnote, whenever you're naming a source,

citing a reference, or referring to another publication, a hyperlink

lets you do it in the body of your content. It takes you out of the

`they say' mode and lets you explicitly show you've done your

homework.

Example: A tough job market presents challenges to both skilled and

unskilled workers.
