Illustrations of Links

Bob Jensen at Trinity University

Click on menu options (View, Source) to read the HTML code for this page. Several types of document and image links are shown below.

../260wp/260wp.htm (This document link works)

The above document link works and puts the 260wp.htm document on a new page. You must, have the 260wp.htm HTML file in your own web space (in the 260wp folder).

/260wp/260wp.htm (This one will not work without two dots)

../images/murch.jpg (This document link works)

The above document link works and puts the image on a new page. You must, however, have the murch.jpg picture file in your own web space (in the images folder).

images/murch.jpg (this will not work without the two dots)

using an image link ../images/murch.jpg

The above image link works and puts the image on the same page. You must, however, have the murch.jpg picture file in your own web space (in the images folder). Having saved it to your own space, you are in control of the picture. Be careful, however, when copying and storing copyrighted text or pictures. Trinity probably does not mind if you copy the picture of the Murcheson Tower as long as you treat that picture with respect. However, Trinity University and virtually all other organizations highly object to the copying and storing of logos for any unauthorized purpose.

using an image link to /images/murch.jpg

The above link does not work without those two dots.

using an image link to http://WWW.Trinity.edu/~rjensen/images/murch.jpg

The above image link puts the picture on the same page without having to have the murch.jpg copied into your own web server space. You must hope, however, that Bob Jensen keeps the picture at the same URL. If he changes the URL or removes the picture from his images folder, you will no longer see the picture of Murcheson Tower using the above link.
