These hyperlinks may also be followed automatically by programs. A program that traverses the hypertext, following each hyperlink and gathering all the retrieved documents is known as a Web spider or crawler. Since links may point to documents encoded with different character encodings, the A and LINK
elements support the charset attribute.
Thus, the value Dürst is a
valid
name attribute value, as is Dürst . The id
attribute, on the other hand, may not contain character references. The roles of a link defined by A or LINK are specified via the rel

and
rev attributes. Introduction
Some background
On a more personal note
…the rest of the table of contents… This basically means that by using the ‘a’ tag, you can link 1 element of the code to another element that may/may not be in your code.
The behavior and style of links can be specified using the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) language. A basic link is created by wrapping the text or other content inside an element and using the href attribute, also known as a Hypertext Reference, or target, that contains the web address. A hyperlink, also called a link or web link, contains an address for a destination and acts as a reference to data.
Hyperlinks are the backbone of web navigation, enabling users to traverse the vast digital landscape with ease. With a simple click, users can move seamlessly between web pages, exploring related information and discovering new content. Additionally, the OBJECT and APPLET elements define attributes that
take precedence over the value set by the BASE element. Please consult the
definitions of these elements for more information about URI issues specific to
them. The
rel and rev attributes play complementary roles — the rel

attribute specifies a forward link and the rev attribute specifies a reverse
link. The
id attribute may be used to create an anchor at the start tag of any
element (including the A element).
It specifies the destination of the link—in this case, Semrush’s homepage. A link from one domain to another is said to be outbound from its source anchor and inbound to its target. HTML links have various attributes that you can use to provide more speicifc information. To fully understand link targets, you need to understand URLs and file paths.
Tim Berners-Lee saw the possibility of using hyperlinks to link any information to any other information over the Internet. Hyperlinks were therefore integral to the creation of the World Wide Web. Web pages are written in the hypertext mark-up language HTML. In this article, we learned all about links and hyperlinks in HTML.

- Web pages are written in the hypertext mark-up language HTML.
- Writing only the name of the file is enough because all the work is shared in the same work folder.
- You can create these links using the HTML tag – but in this case, instead of passing a URL, we pass the recipient’s email address.
- A hyperlink, often called a link, is a reference linking one resource to another.
lang attribute to indicate that the value of the title
attribute for the LINK element designating the French manual is in French. This link designates the home page of the World Wide Web Consortium. When a
user activates this link in a user agent, the user agent will retrieve the
resource, in this case, an HTML document. Wikilinks are visibly distinct from other text, and if an internal wikilink leads to a page that does not yet exist, it usually has a different specific visual appearance. One way to define a hot area in an image is by a list of coordinates that indicate its boundaries.
And when you use them correctly for internal links—links from one page on your site to another page on your site—they can provide SEO benefits, too. Hyperlinks are being implemented in various 3D virtual world networks, including those that use the OpenSimulator[8] and Open Cobalt[9] platforms. The above example will link to different parts of the site – the ‘Home’ page, ‘Services’, ‘Pricing’, and ‘About’, in that order. Writing only the name of the file is enough because all the work is shared in the same work folder. When that happens, the to field is already filled out with the email address of where you want to send it to. Links can do other actions aside from just linking to another page or website.
A user can easily follow, jump to, and be directed to the destination by either clicking, tapping on, or hovering over the link. For versions of HTTP that define a Link header,
user agents should handle these headers exactly as LINK
elements in the document. HTTP 1.1 as defined by [RFC2616] does not
include a Link header field (refer to section 19.6.3). The examples below illustrate how language information, media types, and
link types may be combined to improve document handling by search engines. Armed with this additional knowledge, user agents should be able to avoid
presenting “garbage” to the user.
Inline CSS lets you add styling right into the HTML code for a single element. This tells search engines that the link is part of an advertising/sponsorship collaboration. As with the email attribute, make sure the user knows a phone call or text message will initiate when clicked. Just make sure your anchor text indicates an email application will open from clicking the link. Something like “Email us” or “Send an email” conveys the message clearly. Here, you include a link to the media (an image in this case) instead of anchor text.
Inline CSS works when you need to make one hyperlink look different than the rest. With the “aria-label” you can add more context behind the “read more” link. This way, users won’t be caught off guard when an unexpected application opens. It’s usually best for links to open in the same tab for accessibility reasons.
Semrush’s Site Audit tool can check your website for links with non-descriptive anchor text. In a typical web browser, this would display as the underlined word “Example” in blue, which when clicked would take the user to the example.com website. A fat link (also known as a “one-to-many” link, an “extended link”[5] or a “multi-tailed link”)[6] is a hyperlink which leads to multiple endpoints; the link is a set-valued function. Hyperlink is embedded into a text or an image and takes visitors to another part of a web page.
You can change this, however, by adding different CSS styles. When you click on one of them, you leave the search page and go to the result. You can read more about file paths in the chapter HTML
File Paths. To use an HTML button as a link, you have to add some JavaScript code. Clicking on the link text, will send the reader to the specified URL address. Please consult the appendix for more information about
non-ASCII characters in URI
attribute values.
Relative URIs are
resolved according to a base URI, which
may come from a variety of sources. The BASE element allows authors to specify a document’s base URI explicitly. User agents may save time by retrieving https://www.globalcloudteam.com/ from the network only those style
sheets that apply to the current device. By far the most common use of a link is to retrieve another Web
resource, as illustrated in the previous examples.
For example, a political map of Africa may have each country hyperlinked to further information about that country. A separate invisible hot area interface allows for swapping skins or labels within the linked hot areas without repetitive embedding of links in the various skin elements. An anchor hyperlink (anchor link) is a link bound to a portion of a document,[3] which is often called a fragment. The fragment is generally a portion of text or a heading, though not necessarily. For instance, it may also be a hot area in an image (image map in HTML), a designated, often irregular part of an image. An inline link may display a modified version of the content; for instance, instead of an image, a thumbnail, low resolution preview, cropped section, or magnified section may be shown.
