HTML Links - Hyperlinks

HTML links are hyperlinks.

You can click on a link and jump to another document.

When you move the mouse over a link, the mouse arrow will turn into a little
hand.

Note: A link does not have to be text. It can be an image or any other HTML
element.

HTML Links - Syntax


Hyperlinks are defined with the HTML <a> tag:

<a href="url">link text</a>

Example
<a href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/">Visit our HTML tutorial</a>
Try it Yourself »

The href attribute specifies the destination address


(https://www.w3schools.com/html/) of the link.

The link text is the visible part (Visit our HTML tutorial).

Clicking on the link text will send you to the specified address.

Note: Without a forward slash at the end of subfolder addresses, you might
generate two requests to the server. Many servers will automatically add a
forward slash to the end of the address, and then create a new request.

Local Links
The example above used an absolute URL (a full web address).
A local link (link to the same web site) is specified with a relative URL (without
https://www....).

Example
<a href="html_images.asp">HTML Images</a>
