HTML Hyperlinks (Links)
The HTML <a> tag defines a hyperlink.
A hyperlink (or link) is a word, group of words, or image that you can click on to jump to another document.
When you move the cursor over a link in a Web page, the arrow will turn into a little hand.
The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the link’s destination.
By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:
* An unvisited link is underlined and blue
* A visited link is underlined and purple
* An active link is underlined and red
HTML Link Syntax
The HTML code for a link is simple. It looks like this:
<a href="url">Link text</a>
