What is an anchor tag?

Rating:

An anchor tag is used to create a source (hyperlink) or destination (section) anchor in an HTML page. Anchors are created using the <A.. >.. </A> construct.

The opening A tag of a source anchor has the HREF (hypertext reference) attribute that provides the destination in the form of a URL. Typically, clicking a link created using the anchor tag causes the URL defined in the link to be displayed. For example,

<A HREF="http://www.ucertify.com/index.html" > uCertify.com</A>

Destination anchors are only used in HTML to name a position within a page using the NAME attribute. For example,

<A NAME="MCSE">

The name MCSE is appended to the URL of the page with a "#" as follows:

<A HREF="http://www.ucertify.com/index.html#MCSE " > MCSE</A>
