Basic Tags

<A>...</A>

The Link tag is the foundation of creating a link, but it alone does nothing for us. We need to add some attributes to make it function.

HREF (Hypertext REFerence Attribute)

The HREF attribute is used to designate the name of the file we want to link up with. The format of the Link tag now becomes:


  <A HREF="http://www.presidents.com"> US President's Home Page </A>

The text "US President's Home Page" is made Hypertext and, when clicked on, will tell your browser to request URL www.presidents.com.
