Here is a sample code for image as an anchor. Note: Use the border="0" tag to prevent the image link from having a "hightlight box" around it when viewed with a computer.

To make an internal link to one of your files. To create a home or back or next button to one of your other Web Pages. Lets call your second page index2.html. This is a sample code of how to do that.

<A HREF="index2.html">On To Next Page</A>

An image may also be used for an internal link.

This is a sample of a clickable image to an image. What is known as a thumbnail image. The resized smaller image will show the full sized version when clicked on. You may want to resize the image on your computer with the proper software and upload the smaller image for a faster loading thumbnail. Click on this thumbnail to see the results. Use your back button to return here.

Here is the thumbnail code used:

<A HREF="aruba.jpg">
<IMG SRC="aruba.jpg" HEIGHT="50" WIDTH="65" BORDER="0">
</A>
