HTML Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks require an anchor to be established. This is done with the <A> tag. Two Key attributes of an anchor are:

name = cdata
This attribute names the current anchor so that it may be the destination of another link. The value of this attribute must be a unique anchor name. The scope of this name is the current document. Note that this attribute shares the same name space as the id attribute.
Example:
<A NAME="nameValue"></A>
href = uri
This attribute specifies the location of a Web resource, thus defining a link between the current element (the source anchor) and the destination anchor defined by this attribute. URLs can be absolute or relative.
Example:
<A HREF="#nameValue">Text to Click on</A>
<A HREF="URL#nameValue">Text to Click on</A>
