Hyperlink to Other Types of Content

Hyperlinks can be used to not only refer to another Web page or e-mail address but also can be used to link to other files and documents. Some of the files that are commonly linked on Web pages using hyperlinks are zipped files (.zip), executable files (.exe), documents (.doc),
PDF reader fies (.pdf), and so on. Hyperlinks can also be used to link to graphical .jpg and .gif files. To specify a fie instead of the Web page, the name of the fie must be provided in the <a> tag.
