Links are found in nearly all web pages.

Links allow users to click their


way from page to page.

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. A link can be an image or any other
HTML element!

HTML Links - Syntax


The HTML <a> tag defines a hyperlink. It has the following syntax:

<a href="url">link text</a>

The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which


indicates the link's destination.

The link text is the part that will be visible to the reader.

Clicking on the link text, will send the reader to the specified URL address.

Example
This example shows how to create a link to W3Schools.com:
