It
is also possible to provide links to files with another format than HTML.
Your browser should be equipped with the proper "plug-in" software
to be able to display the file in the proper manner. If this is not the
case, your browser will respond with the message "Plug-in not installed"
and will ask you if it should save the file to disk. The HTML-code is identical
to the code for hyperlinks to other HTML-files, only the file extension
will be different:<a href="http://www.lovely.nl/plugins/flyby.mov">
word from main text</a>
Plug-ins will be discussed in some more detail in one of the next sections.
"Mail to" links
A
special type of link is formed by the so called "mail to"-link
which starts your browser's e-mail functionality and opens a new mail message
containing a predefined e-mail address. For example: clicking on webmaster
will enable you to send an e-mail to the editor of this course manual. The
corresponding HTML-code is:<a href="mailto:feringa@itc.nl">webmaster</a>
