1. Creating Links

2. The Anchor Element:
The anchor tag <a> can be used in three different ways:
External link – to link to a web page outside your own website.
Internal link – to link to another web page on your own website.
Bookmark – to link to another position within the same web page.

3. Anchor Attribute Syntax:
<a href="
target="_blank">Go to Yahoo!</a>
Remember, attribute names must be in lowercase and attribute values must be enclosed in quotes.
Whatever content is placed between the <a> and </a> tags will display on the web page and become a clickable link.
Go to Yahoo!

4. External Links:
<a href=" target="_blank">Go to Yahoo!</a>
href= “hyper text reference” – for external links, use the entire URL address to the web page you wish to link to. Be sure to include the " (It might be easier to copy and paste from a browser window.)
target= this refers to where the web page will display. The value “_blank” tells the browser to open a new window or tab.

5. Internal Links: <a href="page2.html">Next page</a>
href= for an internal link, enter the name of the other web document file. Unless you specify a location of the file on your server, the browser will assume the file is in the same folder as the current page.
If you do not specify a target attribute, the page will open in the same browser window by default.

6. Bookmark Links:
<a href="#bottom">Click here to go to the end</a> .
<a name="bottom">This is the end</a>
Bookmarks are combination of two anchor elements. The first is where you start, the second is where you end up.
For the first <a> tag, use the href attributte and enter # and the name of the anchor you wish to link to. For the second <a> tag, use the name attribute and enter the matching name (without the #).
Bookmarks are often used to build tables of contents within web documents.
