Hyperlinking a page to a local page (in files) HTML - html

Question

Im trying to set up a hyperlink from my current page to another page via my files, however it doesn't work...
My code:
<ahref="file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6weeksproject/Index/Languages.html"><input type="image" id="Languages" position:absolute style="height:px; width:px;" src="./CSImages/About.PNG">
<!-- Thats in context, the HREF is following-->
<ahref="file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6weeksproject/Index/Languages.html">
Once i click the hyperlink it comes up with an error that repeats the directory:
file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6%20weeks%20project/file///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6%20weeks%20project/Index/Languages.html
How can i fix this?

Answer 1

First of all, the tag in conjunction with the href attribute work as follows <a href="path/to/file.html">. Noticed the difference (space)?
Secondly, if the file is in the same folder, all you need to do is reference the file that you want to link starting from that path and upwards.
You were on the right track, your href would become: {}
Consider naming files with lowercase letters only. Its not necessary, but a well accepted practice!

Answer 2

The <a> must have a space between the a and href: <a href="">
When you use the href attribute, the path will be based on which file you put the <a> in, e.g. if you put the <a> in the index.html, and you want to reference to languages.html, first make sure that the languages.html is in the same folder as index.html (easier) and then just reference to it with:
<a href="languages.html">
Also, why are you using an input tag? Just use an img tag. I'll fix your code:
<a href="languages.html">
<img id="Languages" style="position: absolute; height:_px; width:_px;" src="CSImages/About.PNG">
</a>
This only works if the folder CSImages is in the same directory as index.html If not, just change the path accordingly.
Hope this helps!

<a href="file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6weeksproject/Index/Languages.html">
<input type="image" id="Languages" position:absolute style="height:px; width:px;" src="./CSImages/About.PNG">
</a>
As mentioned in comments, you should put a space between a and href. Additionally, you should close the a tag.
Why are you using an input element for showing an image? Maybe you are better off with an actual image tag:
<a href="file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6weeksproject/Index/Languages.html">
<img id="Languages" style="position:absolute; height:[insert missing value]px; width:[insert missing value]px;" src="./CSImages/About.PNG">
</a>

Answer 4

Add the space in the a href, put the image in an img tag, and don't include height and width unless you are going to include a value. Also position:absolute has to go in a style tag. Finally, close your a tag.
<a href="file:///C:/Users/ashsa_000/Desktop/Html/6weeksproject/Index/Languages.html">
<img src="./CSImages/About.PNG" style="position:absolute">
</a>
