Anchors
A link's anchor can be a word, a group of words, or a picture. Exactly how an anchor looks in the browser depends largely on what type of anchor it is, how the user has configured the browser to display links, and how you created it. There are only two types of anchors:
Text Anchors
Most text anchors look somewhat the same. A text anchor is one or more words the browser underlines to indicate the fact that it represents a link. The browser also displays a text anchor using a different color than the rest of the surrounding text (the color and appearance of links are under the author's and user's control).
Graphical Anchors
A graphical anchor is similar to a text anchor. When you click a link's graphical anchor, the browser loads the Web page that the link references. Graphical anchors aren't underlined or displayed in a different color, but can be displayed with a border. No two graphical anchors need to look the same, either. It depends entirely on the picture that you choose to use.
