Hyperlinks
Have you ever noticed that certain words on the Web look a little bit different?
Whenever you see a word or phrase that's in blue and/or underlined in blue
colour, it is probably a hyperlink or link for short. For example, try clicking the
link below.
Hey, I'm a link! Click me!
Hyperlink is a chain of words, phrase or graphics (images) that a user clicks to
access a new webpage or website on the internet. It can also be defined as a
section of text or graphic that is capable of linking up with all the Webpages on a
website or another.
Hand Cursor
From the picture above, you may notice that the cursor changes into a hand icon
whenever you hover over a link. When an arrow cursor changes to a hand cursor
on a text or graphic, it means that particular text or graphic has a link with
another page or site. So, seeing hand icon or cursor means you've found a link.
Apart from text, many websites actually use images as links, so you can just
click the image to navigate to another page.
