(PDF) HTML Links with Example :- Infinity4Education


HTML Links

Links are found in nearly all web pages. Links allow users to click their way from page to page.

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. It can be an image or any other HTML element.

HTML Links - Syntax
Hyperlinks are defined with the HTML <a> tag:
<a href="url">link text</a>
Example
<a href="https://www.Infinity4Education.com ">Visit our HTML tutorial</a>
The href attribute specifies the destination address (https://www.Infinity4Education.com) of the link.
The link text is the visible part (Visit our HTML tutorial).
Clicking on the link text will send you to the specified address.
Note: Without a forward slash at the end of subfolder addresses, you might generate two requests to the server. Many servers will automatically add a forward slash to the end of the address, and then create a new request.

Local Links
The example above used an absolute URL (a full web address).
A local link (link to the same web site) is specified with a relative URL (without https://www....).
Example
<a href="html_images.asp">HTML Images</a>

HTML Links - The target Attribute
The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.
The target attribute can have one of the following values:
  • _blank - Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
  • _self - Opens the linked document in the same window/tab as it was clicked (this is default)
  • _parent - Opens the linked document in the parent frame
  • _top - Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
  • framename - Opens the linked document in a named frame
This example will open the linked document in a new browser window/tab:
Example
<a href=" https://www.Infinity4Education.com " target="_blank">Visit Infinity4Eduaction</a>
Tip: If your webpage is locked in a frame, you can use target="_top" to break out of the frame:
Example
<a href=" https://www.Infinity4Education.com " target="_top">HTML tutorial!</a>

HTML Links - Image as a Link
Example
<a href="default.asp">
  
<img src="smiley.gif" alt="HTML tutorial" style="width:42px; height:42px; border:0;">
</a>
Note: border:0; is added to prevent IE9 (and earlier) from displaying a border around the image (when the image is a link).

Button as a Link
To use an HTML button as a link, you have to add some JavaScript code.
JavaScript allows you to specify what happens at certain events, such as a click of a button:
Example
<button onclick="document.location = 'default.asp'">HTML Tutorial</button>

Link Titles
The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element.
Example
<a href=" https://www.Infinity4Education/html.com " title="Go to Infinity4Education HTML section">Visit our HTML Tutorial</a>

External Paths
External pages can be referenced with a full URL or with a path relative to the current web page.
This example uses a full URL to link to a web page:
Example
<a href=" https://www.Infinity4Education.com ">HTML tutorial</a>
This example links to a page located in the html folder on the current web site:
Example
<a href="/html/default.asp">HTML tutorial</a>
Example
<a href="default.asp">HTML tutorial</a>

Chapter Summary
  • Use the <a> element to define a link
  • Use the href attribute to define the link address
  • Use the target attribute to define where to open the linked document
  • Use the <img> element (inside <a>) to use an image as a link
