I know there are alterntives to a href, i.e [url =] but I also know there are more. Im struggling to find them all and need to know a few different ways to create an anchor text link.

Thanks

Are you talking about in HTML? In HTML you need to use a href="".

[URL] Is BB code it only works in forums usually. Different forum software sometimes has a different syntax, it's down to the developers when they make it.

Oh yes I know of the url= and a href but the other ways of doing it, that I need to know, for some reason I can't find them.

I have an idea there is one that goes something like link [url] anchor text, but cant find them all.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As far as i know there are no alternatives to href in html.

but there are wrappers or application specific codes like the BB code as you mentioned
above [url] .... so let us know in which application/script you want to user alternative,
so you read the help files of this script and you find the all code you needed...

As every application , at the end of the day, has to pick the input and map this to
original html code , i.e. href.... so it really depends on the application you are using,
which uses any custom code in the front-end for some html known tags to stop html spam..

Hope this make sense, or i am missing something bro?

Regards,
Mohsin

Are you trying to drop them into a forum? This link may help - BBCode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No, not a forum.

I'm just looking as many different ways to create an anchor text link, so when I arrive at a place I see everyone else is using some sort of code to generate an anchor text backlink, I can do the same.

Cheers.

In HTML, the only way to do links is:

Code:

<a href="http://www.thesite.com">Anchor Text</a>

The only other thing I can think of what you are trying to say is:

Code:

<a href="http://www.thesite.com/page.html#keyterm">Click here</a> to read up more on keyterm.

And that hops you to either further down your page or to another page on your site.

Bro you have to specify the place, then you have to find the script/software they are using,
and then in their help section you will find the all place/script/application specific code/tags they use as an alternative to href....

Ok, but that isn't true. I'm sure bakc when I was subscribed to Angela's backlinks there was another way she mentioned for gaining them.

Although I just can't put my finger on those methods right now, nor is Google able to help me on this one.

Seems like it could be a good post for my blog, when I find the answers :-)

<a name="link"></a>
<bgsound src=""loop=1>

Those are a couple I can think of 1 for sound & 1 for docs

As already mentioned, your talking about BBCode type code.

GuerrillaIM · 08-02-2009, 05:17 AM

You could probably set the link by using CSS.

If you saw it in angelas packet it was probably something similar to BB code.

chazmer · 08-02-2009, 06:04 AM

afaik it is ONLY <a href if your using HTML, you could probably set up a php script to use different coding in order to do it, but the end result would be a hyperlink reference (href) - the examples your using [url] etc. are all just ways for a peice of software (in this case a forum) to translate your link into html for itself (which inevitably means it's a href)

s4nt0s · 08-02-2009, 06:15 AM

There are a few other variations to creating anchor text.

I know there is HTML, BB code, wiki mark up, wiki mark up 2 and maybe a few others.

I will post the different varations when I get off work.

You are not giving us enough information to help you. You can code a link differently than <a href> with php, javascript, whatever. But if you're coding with HTML you are pretty much stuck with href.

You may be confusing us with your [url] reference. That is BBcode. Works right here on the forum, and with many other forum generating scripts. But you say that you're not talking about a forum. BBcode can be used in some blogs that have been set up to use BBcode in comments, but it is pretty useless anywhere else.

Knowing where you're trying to add the link or at least what code, software, whatever is being used where you want to add the link will go a long way towards helping us help you. -Yeah I know, I quoted Jerry Maguire and it is just a little embarrassing. But I couldn't stop my fingers. Whatareyagonnado?-

Hoping to help,
