Examples

The a element requires an attribute named href, which specifies what the link is linking to.

The attribute looks like this:

href="value"

Where "value" is a URL, or a path to a resource.

In this example, the value of the attribute is a fully-qualified URL for Wikipedia:

<a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>

In the example below, the value of the attribute is another web page on the same website.
