NOTES:
- The A stands for Anchor.
- Notice that there is a matching closing tag, i.e. </A>.
- The closing tag is best placed immediately following the text to be
highlighted rather than placed on the next line.
Sensitive Images as Hypertext Links
An image can be used to provide a HyperText Link. The image would then
normally be surrounded with a border. Clicking anywhere within the image
causes the link to be activated. It is therefore a Sensitive Image where each
point gives the same result.

NOTES:
- The A stands for Anchor.
- Notice that there is a matching closing tag, i.e. </A>.
- Notice that the IMG is placed within the container.
i.e. between the <A> and </A> components.
- Use the BORDER=n to change the width of
the border around the image.
- Use BORDER=0 to remove the Blue Line.
If you do this, then it will need to be obvious (in some other way)
to your reader that the image is a sensitive one.

- The closing tag is best placed immediately following the text to

- Notice that the mailto construct requires your full email
address. That is, your mailbox name, the @ symbol and your full host
name.
- It is recommended that the email address is shown (as in the
example) as not all browsers accept the mailto construct and
callers may need to use the email address with their own mail system.
