The Anchored Link Tag
The anchored link tag, <a> allows you to link to other pages you may have created or to any resource on the Web such as another webpage, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc.
To add a link you use the <a href="location"> opening tag and </a> closing tag.
The <a> tag is used to create an anchor to link, the href attribute is the address of the document to link to. This can be the name of one of your pages or in the case where it is a page on the web, the URL address of the page you wish to browse. This is the address as displayed by your browser.
Whatever appears between the <a> and </a> will become underlined and coloured. If you click on the underlined text it will send the browser to the location within the location quotes.
