“Mastering the Basics of HTML Links”
Whether you’re jumping to another web page or navigating within the same page, HTML links play a key role. This article will briefly introduce the basic syntax and usage of HTML links.
HTML link basics
HTML links usually refer to hypertext links, which are mainly used in HTML tags to achieve. The basic syntax of HTML links is very simple: link text. Here, the href attribute specifies the target address of the link, and the link text is the text displayed to the user.
Opening method
By default, the link opens in the current window, but you can change this via the target attribute. For example, using target=”_blank” will cause the link to open in a new browser tab or window.
Advanced use of HTML links
Anchor link
HTML links can not only link to different web pages but can also link to specific parts of the same page. This is usually achieved through anchors. Here, the id attribute is used to mark a specific location on the page, and the # in the href followed by the ID indicates that this is an anchor link.
Image link
You can also use images as links. In this way, the image image.jpg becomes a link pointing to https://www.example.com.
Email link
HTML also supports the establishment of links to email addresses, which can be achieved through the mailto protocol. Clicking this link will open the user’s default email client and create an email addressed to [email protected].
