Links
A link ("anchor") is a small span of text that will direct you to a different section in the page, or to a different
page. To create a link, you will need to specify where you would like the user to be directed to when the link is
clicked by specifying the href attribute.
For example:
<a href="https://www.google.com">A link to Google</a>
To create a link to a different section in the same page, you will need to use a hash sign along with the element ID to where you would like the browser to jump to. For example:
<a href="#faq">Click here to read the Frequently Asked Questions</a>
The element ID is denoted using the id attribute:
<h3 id="faq">Frequently asked questions</h3>
<p>The first rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club.</p>
Let's try it out:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First Page</h1>
<p>This is my first page.</p>
<a href="#faq">Click here to read the Frequently Asked Questions</a>
<hr/>
<h3 id="faq">Frequently asked questions</h3>
<p>The first rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club.</p>
<p>However, if you do have questions, please e-mail me at [email protected]</p>
