Summary

  • Links are created using the element.
  • The element uses the href attribute to indicate the page you are linking to.
  • If you are linking to a page within your own site, it is best to use relative links rather than qualified URLs.
  • You can create links to open email programs with an email address in the "to" field.
  • Opening tags can carry attributes, which tell us more about the content of that element.
  • You can use the id attribute to target elements within a page that can be linked to.
