Notice the "mouse pointer" changes from an arrow..., to a hand, with a finger pointer!


Links can be (and very often are) Images (.gif or .jpg) on your Browser.

Notice..., the Border around the Image is the same color (Red) as the "Linked Text", and when you touch your (mouse) pointer to it the Status Message it reads: N_Viewing_WebPages.htm

Use the Back Button to return to this page!

It is possible to open a Link with a New Browser Window. Opening multiple Browsers is especially useful because the user can read the contents of one Browser Window..., while the information in the other Browser Window is Loading.

Use the RIGHT Mouse Button to "click on" the yellow [An Image With a URL Link] Image Link (above).

This Window will Pop-up!
New Browser Window  Pop-up
