Adding Links to Web Pages
Links or Anchors on Web Pages
Links and images are the most popular things on Web pages. They are easy to add (just two basic HTML tags) and they bring excitement to your plain text pages. Here you can learn about the a (anchor) tag.
Adding Links
A link is called an anchor in HTML, and so the tag to represent it is the <a> tag. When you use an anchor, you must point to the Web page address that you want to go to when you click. You specify this with the href attribute.
Usage:
<a href=”URL of the Web page to go to”>Text that will be the link</a>
Some Things to Remember When Adding Links
- The final </a> tag is required.
- You can link either images or text
- Make sure to check your links so that they don’t go bad
Internal Links
Internal links are links to another part of the same page.
