| name (inner links)
|
| Not many people understand what an inner link is. This is how an inner link works. You use the anchor tag to declare an inner link by giving an anchor a name. Example: <<>a name="question_1"<>>Question 1:<<>/a<>>. Now if you create an anchor with #link_name as the href, you will jump to the location of the name. Example: <<>a href="#question_1"<>>Go to Question 1.<<>/a<>>. Clicking this link will take you to the anchor with the name "question_1". You can also scroll to the top or bottom of a page by making an href as #top or #bottom respectively. Top or Bottom

| nohighlight
|
| This attribute, which has no value, gets rid of the yellow cursor around the link, making a "water mark" or hidden link. Example: <<>a href="www.oocities.org" nohighlight<>>Geocities<<>/a<>> or No border!
|
| insetselection
|
| This attribute, which has no value, causes the border to be inversed. It will appear in the inside of the link rather than the outside. Example: <<>a href="oocities.com" insetselection<>>Geocities<<>/a<>> or Invert border!
|
| nextright nextleft nextdown nextup
|
| These attributes will cause the navigation of an anchor on press the up, down, left, or right keys on the keyboard. The jump is determined by the name put into the attribute. Example: <<>a href="oocities.com" nextright="yahoo"<>>Geocities.com<<>/a<>> <<>a href="yahoo.com" name="yahoo">Yahoo.com<<>/a<>>. Now where ever Yahoo.com is placed, doesn't matter, if you press right on Geocities.com, it will jump to Yahoo.com! Example:

Press down and you'll go up!
