@chosenmatt href link example

Question

e.mccormick · Answer

OK, let me do three really small files to show this: index.html: ``` About me!

Take a look at my resume.

Read about my hobbies.

``` resume.html: ``` My Resume

Click to get back to the index.

Resume

Bla bla

Lots about me

``` hobby.html: ``` My hobbies

Click to get back to the index.

Hobby List

Bla bla

Lots about my hobbies

``` Now, you typically would use some sort of template file to include your navigation and other common parts. However, that is the very basics of how multiple pages can use HREF links to move between them.

e.mccormick · Answer

If you use a script to load the content, it is something similar, but using whatever commands the script uses.  This is just the basics of how links work.

okay i have a question....if i have a css stylesheet or app.js for page hobby.html for example how do i upload it to that exact page? @e.mccormick

e.mccormick · Answer

A style sheet would be loaded in the head content.  You just load it on each page.  You can do similar include things to load any needed scripts.

e.mccormick · Answer

Look at the external style sheet here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp Something like that can be used so that you have one css file and inlude it on all the pages.

chosenmatt · Answer

@e.mccormick so i put my style sheet like this <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"> that goes in the head section of index.html

e.mccormick · Answer

In the head of each file you want to use that style sheet in.

chosenmatt · Answer

okay what about app.js?

e.mccormick · Answer

I have not done much with JavaScript so I do not know the best way to load it accross multiple pages.  Too bad @dumbsearch2 is not on more.  He really knows this stuff.

e.mccormick · Answer

Ah, here we are: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_whereto.asp ``` ``` That is their example on external javascript, so one js file can be made and loaded in more than one HTML document.

e.mccormick · Answer

Now, w3schools is NOT perfect.  They have some mistakes.  But I would say 85% to 90% is decent info.

@e.mccormick u are only suppose to use one .js in one website? wow i didnt know that....

e.mccormick · Answer

No, you can use more than one script.  It is just an easier way to load a script in multiple pages.  Let me take MathJax as an example.

Lets say you had a site on math.  You have several pages that need math formatting and some that do not.  On the ones that need math formatting, load the MathJax script to run the formatting.  On the ones that don't you do not bother to link that script in.

Rahter than retype the entire MathJax script every time, you just use the script link to load it.
