Tutorial 27: The Care and Feeding of Hyperlinks, Part III

Putting it into practice

Let's start with a pretty idealized example: A page in a book that is published online. Let's assume we're in page 3, chapter 21, section B in the book. This book will probably be presented in a hierarchical tree structure, with a home page at the top, then several sections, which are subdivided into chapters, which are themselves subdivided into pages. In addition, we have a table of contents, an index, a glossary, a copyright notice and a page assisting users in reading the book. The diagram below illustrates this structure.

This chart shows the structure of a Web site containing the full text of a book. The green boxes indicate pages, while the blue lines show the navigation links that start from the highlighted page. [Full-sized image]

Putting these links into HTML form, we come up with something like the following:

<LINK REL="Next" HREF="./page4"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Chapter 21, Page 4">
<LINK REL="Prev" HREF="./page2"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Chapter 21, Page 3">
<LINK REL="Start" HREF="./page1"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Chapter 21, Page 1">
<LINK REL="Up" HREF="./"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Chapter 21, Introduction">
<LINK REL="Chapter" HREF="./"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Chapter 21, Introduction">
<LINK REL="Home" HREF="../../"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Home">
<LINK REL="Contents" HREF="../../contents"
 TITLE="MORONS in Action - Table of Contents">
<LINK REL="Section" HREF="../"
