Surfing the Web with Hypertext
Often, you assign a link to a word or phrase on your page, an image such as a navigational button, or a section
of graphic for an image map (a large graphic in which various parts are links). To test the link, you preview
the page in a browser; links are not active in Dreamweaver??™s Document window.
Designate links in HTML through the anchor tag pair: and . The anchor tag generally takes one
main attribute??”the hypertext reference, which is written as follows:
href=???link name???

you link the phrase Back to Home Page, it may look like the following:
Back to Home Page

Creating a basic link in Dreamweaver is easy. Simply follow these steps:
