HTML Links & Attributes

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

The World Wide Web is basically a massive collection of documents connected by hyperlinks. The <a> tag is the bridge between these documents.

The Anchor Tag

We call it the "Anchor" tag because it anchors a piece of text to a URL. The most important attribute is href (Hypertext Reference). Without it, the tag is just a placeholder.

Absolute vs Relative

Absolute Links point to a full web address (e.g., https://google.com). Relative Links point to a file within your own website structure (e.g., /about.html).

Target Attribute

The target attribute controls where the link opens. Use _blank to open the link in a new tab or window.
