You can do this because there is an electronic connection between these places. This connection is called a "link." The piece of text or image that you clicked on is programmed to have this link so you can navigate from place to place. Sometimes when you click on something on a page, nothing happens. That's because there is no link within that text or image. [1/5 definitions] |
