HTML Links & Navigation

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

Links (Anchors) are the fundamental connector of the World Wide Web. Without the <a> tag, the web would just be isolated documents.

The Href Attribute

The href attribute is mandatory. It specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. If the href is missing, the <a> tag will not be a hyperlink.

Absolute vs. Relative

Absolute URLs include the full web address (e.g., https://www.google.com). Use these for external sites. Relative URLs (e.g., /about.html) point to files within your own website directory.

The Target Attribute

To open a link in a new browser tab, we use target="_blank". This is useful for external links so users don't lose their place on your site.
