Creating Links

When it comes to the World Wide Web, links (which connect different files) are everything. Without them, the Web wouldn’t exist. You create links with the A (anchor) element. That element’s href (hypertext reference) attribute gives the Web address of the file you want to link to. This address is called a URL, which is short for uniform resource locator. Here’s what a link looks like in HTML:

<A href="http://www.dummies.com/">content</A>                

The part that reads content is where you put words or images that people can click to go to the linked file. This content appears by default as blue underlined letters if it’s a text link or as a blue outlined image if it’s an image link.
