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>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>HTML Links</h2>
<p>HTML links are defined with the a tag:</p>
<a href="https://saveracom.blogspot.com/">This is a link</a>
</body>
</html>
By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:
- An unvisited link is underlined and blue
- A visited link is underlined and purple
- An active link is underlined and red
HTML Links - The target Attribute
By default, the linked page will be displayed in the current browser window. To change this, you must specify another target for the link.
The
targetattribute specifies where to open the linked document.The
targetattribute can have one of the following values:_self- Default. Opens the document in the same window/tab as it was clicked_blank- Opens the document in a new window or tab_parent- Opens the document in the parent frame_top- Opens the document in the full body of the window
Absolute URLs vs. Relative URLs
Both examples above are using an absolute URL (a full web address) in the href attribute.
A local link (a link to a page within the same website) is specified with a relative URL (without the "https://www" part)
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Absolute URLs</h2>
<p><a href="https://web.whatsapp.com/" target="_blank">Whats App</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a></p>
<h2>Relative URLs</h2>
<p><a href="html_images.asp">HTML Images</a></p>
<p><a href="https://saveracom.blogspot.com/">Bloger</a></p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Links - Use an Image as a Link
To use an image as a link, just put the <img> tag inside the <a> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Image as a Link</h2>
<p>The image below is a link. Try to click on it.</p>
<a href="https://saveracom.blogspot.com"><img src="smiley.gif" alt="HTML tutorial" style="width:42px;height:42px;"></a>
</body>
</html>
Link to an Email Address
Use mailto: inside the href attribute to create a link that opens the user's email program (to let them send a new email):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Link to an Email Address</h2>
<p>To create a link that opens in the user's email program (to let them send a new email), use mailto: inside the href attribute:</p>
<p><a href="saveracom10@gmail.com">Send email</a></p>
</body>
</html>
