How do I add
a text link?
Answer:
You need to do it like this:
<a
href="http://LINK">TEXT</a>
So, for the CLAW homepage, the link would look like this:
<a
href="http://claw.org">This link is to CLAW!</a>
You have to
put all the <s and "s in, and you always need the http://

How
do I add a graphic link?
For example how do I put a link to the CLAW homepage on the card
name of graphic
is:newcard.jpg
Answer:
a graphic link looks like this: <img src="IMAGE NAME">
So, for the example above, the link would look like this: <img
src="newcard.jpg"> NOTE: If the file is located in
a different directory than your HTML file, you have to type in
the EXACT location.
In the example
above, we are assuming you saved the image to the same place your
HTML file is located. If you wanted to link directly to the newcard.jpg
image on the CLAW website and the image was at the top directory
(top level), you could do it like this:
<img src="http://claw.org/newcard.jpg">
You can also
add the image size to your tag. This helps the image download
faster in other kitties' browsers. Most graphics programs have
a feature that tells you the width and the height of your image
in pixels. The image above is 268 pixels wide and 143 pixels high.
The link would then look like this:
<img src="newcard.jpg"
width="268" height="143"
Finally, you
can add an "alt" tag. This tag is what is shown if someone
has their images turned off. Most kitties don't have their images
turned off, but like "width" and "height"
tags, it is good practice to use the "alt" tag. Here
is what the final link would look like:
<img
src="newcard.jpg" width="268" height="143"
alt="New Membership Card">

I added
a link to a graphic but I don`t want a small frame around it.
What have I done wrong?
Answer:
The small frame is there because the image is linked. You have
to specifically tell the browser not to show the frame. Suppose
this is your HTML code for your linked graphic:
<a
href="http://claw.org"><img src="newcard.jpg"
width="268" height="143" alt="New Membership
Card"></a>
All you need
to do is to add one more tag: the "border" tag and set
it to equal 0 (zero), like this:
<a
href="http://claw.org"><img src="newcard.jpg"
width="268" height="143" alt="New Membership
Card" border="0"></a>

I want to make a page with a double or triple background. How
do I do this?
Answer:
First of all, you will need two or three images, one for each
background. Whichever background you want on the "bottom"
goes into the "body" tag, just as you would do normally.
So here is our "body" tag with our background file,
bg1.gif:
<body background="bg1.gif">
Next, you
are going to need to insert a table. The table can have various
border colors and border widths, but the background must be specified
as your second image. In this case, we are going to call our second
image bg2.gif. You will also more than likely want to make your
table a little less wide than the browser window (which equals
100%):
<table border="0"
width="80%" background="bg2.gif">
Anything you
want to appear on this background must go between the <table>
and </table> tags.
Anything you
want to appear on the original background needs to appear either
outside of this table.
If you are
doing a triple background:
Do the same
thing as you did with the double background. The trick here is
that you have to remember to make the table a smaller percentage.
The first table is 80% of the browser window. If you want the
triple background to appear correctly, you need to make the width
less than 80%. In our example, we chose 60%:
<table border="0"
width="80%" background="bg3.gif">
Also note
that the third table is nested, meaning, it lies INSIDE the first
table, like this:
<table>
<table>
</table>
</table>
In order for
everything to properly display, you must remember the opening
and the closing "table" tags, as well as the appropriate
opening and closing TR and TD tags.
10.
How would I have a banner link to another site and open it on
a new page?
Answer:
At the end of the linkcode include "TARGET=_blank"
it will open the link in a new page... therefore not losing your
guest to your site.
For example:
<a
href="http://claw.org"><img src="newcard.jpg"
width="268" height="143" alt="New Membership
Card" border="0"> target="_blank"</a>
