The href attribute in an HTML page is used to specify the URL for a page. If the href attribute is not present, then the <a> tag will not be considered as a hyperlink.
Just keep in mind the href attribute should get included as an attribute for <a> tag. It should be used inside the <body>…</body> tags.
Example
You can try the following code to make page links in an HTML page using the href attribute
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML href attribute</title> </head> <body> <h1>Learn about the company</h1> <a href="/about/index.htm">About</a> <a href="/about/about_team.htm">Team</a> </body> </html>
