HTML Links

Hello there, web explorer! Today, we’re embarking on a journey through the world of HTML links. Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the nitty-gritty of creating hyperlinks, linking to different parts of the same page, and more. So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let’s get started!

Absolutely! Let’s dive a bit deeper into the code and add some more examples.

In HTML, the <a> tag is used to create a hyperlink. The href attribute within the <a> tag specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. The text between the opening <a> tag and the closing </a> tag is the text that will be displayed as a hyperlink.

Here’s an example:

<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example.com</a>
HTML

In this code, “Visit Example.com” is the text that will appear on the webpage. When you click on this text, you will be taken to “https://www.example.com”.

Let’s add another example:

<a href="https://www.openai.com">Explore OpenAI</a>
HTML

In this case, “Explore OpenAI” is the text that will appear on the webpage. When clicked, it will take you to “https://www.openai.com”.

Here’s how you can create an anchor link:
