Answer Key

Assignment 1:

Understanding how hyperlinks work is foundational to building any website. Hyperlinks are the glue that connects web pages, enabling smooth navigation and creating a cohesive user experience. When paired with HTML, they define the structure of your site; CSS then steps in to style these links, making them visually appealing and accessible. Finally, JavaScript adds interactivity—like conditional navigation, animations, or password protection—bringing your links to life. Together, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript form a powerful trio that transforms simple web pages into dynamic, interactive, and user-friendly websites. Mastering hyperlinks is your first real step toward building fully functional web experiences.
