Description

The World Wide Web got its spidery name from the plentiful connections (links) that link websites together with the click of a button.
What most people don't know is that HTML links are actually HTML anchors constructed using anchor tags (<a>).
A Hypertext Reference (href) is an HTML attribute of an anchor (link) tag that requires a valid URL in order to properly direct a user to a different location.
In other words, this Hypertext Reference is where users will navigate to if they do click on this link.
Links are a big part of the user experience for any website. Always try to keep that in mind when working on a site's navigation.
A web page that opens a new web browser window each time a user clicks a link is not the greatest way to entice users to stick around.
The tags used to produce links are the <a> and </a>.
The <a> tells where the link should start and the </a> indicates where the link ends.
