How links work

The <a> tag (the anchor element) creates a hyperlink to other web pages. It can also link to email addresses and files.

How to create a hyperlink

• Open an <a> element
• Add a href attribute with the link location. For example: http://example.com
• Add the closing arrow character (>)
• Add your label text
• Close your </a> tag

Your finished hyperlink should look like this:

           <a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a>
