HTML links are Hyperlinks. When we move the mouse over a link, the mouse arrow will turn into a little hand.

On clicking the link we can route to another document or another website or another page or image, that is a link re-routes us to a different page.

A link can be an image or any other HTML element.

Syntax:<a href=”URL”>link text</a>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h3>URL</h3>

<p><a href=”https://www.google.com/">Google</a></p>

</body>
</html>

By default,

An unvisited link is underlined and blue

A visited link is underlined and purple

An active link is underlined and red in any browser.

We can display the link without underlining by setting the value of the text-decoration attribute to none.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h3>URL</h3>

<p><a style=”text-decoration:none” href=”https://www.google.com/">Google</a></p>

</body>
</html>

Syntax: <img src=”image.jpg” alt=” ”> or <img src=”URL” alt=” ”>

An image can also be given as a link.

Using mailto: inside the href attribute, we can create a link that opens the user’s email program.

<a href=”mailto:someone@example.com”>Sends email</a>

To use an HTML button as a link, we have to add some JavaScript code

Syntax:<button onclick=”document.location=’default.asp’”>HTML</button>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p>Click the button to go to the Google web page.</p>

<button onclick=”document.location=’https://featurepreneur.com/'">HTML Tutorial</button>

</body>
</html>

On clicking the button, it will re-route to the featurepreneur website as shown below.

Thank you for Reading!!
