Hypertext, An overview of
The World Wide Web is held together by HYPERTEXT
links, and the only way to move from page to page, using the web, is
by clicking on these links. Links can come in many shapes and
forms (text and picture links) are dotted throughout a web document.

Knowledge Area
As
you navigate these pages using hypertext links, you probably unaware of
the hyperlink "history" you have taken just clicking
around. There may even be times when you would like to go back to a
page previously clicked on, being unable to do so can mean more
frustrating time spent online to find that all important page.
Fortunately,
the browser keeps a record of your journey using hypertext links, and you
can retrace your steps by using the backward and forward buttons found at
the top left of your screen.
Skills Area
When you first switch on
your browser, you will notice that none of these buttons are highlighted,
however, once you start to use the hypertext links on a given web page,
the back button will be in use to allow you to retrace your steps
backwards.
Here how the buttons
work:
-
BACK BUTTON
Once you have a link history, clicking on the back button once will
take you back one web page at a time. Eventually you will return to
the very first page you started off with during that web
session.
-
FORWARD BUTTON
The forward button is only operable once you began to retrace your
steps using the back button.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The link history will only be recorded during the time your
browser is activated. In other words, once you switch off your
browser, it will forget the link steps you have taken.
