Navigating the World Wide WebMouse Practice You're doing great so far. I just want to stop for a second and explain a little better what a link is. A link, also called a hyperlink, is merely a connector from one place to another. Sometimes it connects you from part of a document to another, sometimes it's from one document to another.So far, the links we've been clicking on have said "Click here..." and have been blue underlined text (or purple if they had already been clicked on). Usually on the web, links won't tell you to click on them. Instead they'll be just be part of the page.
Also, links won't always be blue and underlined - the hand with the finger ( |
) is the only way to tell you are on a link. Also, please remember, on the Web there's generally no need to double-click on things single-clicking on a link is all you need to do to make it work. If you click and the word you clicked on turns blue, it means you moved when you clicked. If you see this click on the link again and try not to move the mouse.
