Is there a way to link to the index page of a website without specifying the name of the index page or the full website URL?
I have this:
<a href="index.htm">Home</a>
But when I click the link, my address bar shows:
mydomain.com/index.html
I would like it to show:
mydomain.com
Can I do that without putting the full URL (mydomain.com
) in the href
? If so, how?
For future viewers, I also found this question helpful.
To make page links in an HTML page, use the <a> and </a> tags, which are the tags used to define the links. The <a> tag indicates where the link starts and the </a> tag indicates where it ends. Whatever text gets added inside these tags, will work as a link. Add the URL for the link in the <a href=” ”>.
You can do a site search by using the search operator. Just type "site:domain.com" and hit enter. You will get the list of all the pages that are being indexed. Now, we know the entire process of how SEO works and how we can check web page indexing.
The index page is the URL or local file that automatically loads when a web browser starts and when the browser's 'home' button is pressed. The term is also used to refer to the front page, web server directory index, or main web page of a website of a group, company, organization, or individual.
You can just do this:
<a href="/">Home</a>
Any href
preceded by a slash is relative the root directory.
It should be noted that when viewing a webpage from a local hard drive in a browser, this will cause the link not to function.
