| Form | Description
|
|---|
| <a href=http://...> | Makes a link to another document located on a World Wide Web server.
|
| <a href=ftp://...> | Makes a link to an FTP server. Within an HTML document, normally a connection to an anonymous FTP site would be made. Some browsers, however, allow connections to private FTP sites. In this case, the anchor should take the form ftp://wisinss@nabel.panasonic.co.id and the browser then prompts the user for a password for entry to the site.
|
| <a href=gopher://...> | Makes a link to a Gopher server.
|
| <a href=mailto:...> | Activating such a link brings up the browser's mailing dialog box (if it has mailing capabilities; otherwise, whatever default e-mail software is installed on the system should be activated), allowing the user to send mail messages to the author of the document, or whoever's address is specified in the mailto: attribute. NCSA Mosaic supports use of the TITLE attribute for the anchor element when used with mailto: links. It allows the author so specify the subject of the mail message that will be sent. Netscape allows specification of the subject line by using the following syntax: <a href="mailto:wisinss@hotmail.com?subject=The HTML Reference is fantastic"> link text </a>
|
| <a href=news:...> | Makes a link to a Usenet newsgroup. Care should be taken in using such links because the author cannot know what newsgroups are carried by the local news server of the user.
|
| <a href=newsrc:...> | Makes a link to a specific newsrc file. The newsrc file is used by Usenet news-reading software to determine what groups carried by the news server the reader subscribes to.
|
| <a href=nntp://...> | Specifies a different news server to that which the user may normally use.
|
| <a href=telnet://...> | Activating such a link initiates a Telnet session (using an external application) to the machine specified after the telnet:// label.
|
| <a href=wais://...> | Makes a link that connects to a specified WAIS index server.
