HTML Links

Links are found in nearly all web pages. Links allow users to click their way from page to page.

HTML Links — Hyperlinks

HTML links are hyperlinks.

You can click on a link and jump to another document.

When you move the mouse over a link, the mouse arrow will turn into a little hand.

Note: A link does not have to be text. A link can be an image or any other HTML element!

HTML Links — Syntax

The link text is the part that will be visible to the reader.

Clicking on the link text, will send the reader to the specified URL address.

Example

This example shows how to create a link to W3Schools.com:

By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:

• An unvisited link is underlined and blue
• A visited link is underlined and purple
• An active link is underlined and red

Tip: Links can of course be styled with CSS, to get another look!

HTML Links — The target Attribute

By default, the linked page will be displayed in the current browser window. To change this, you must specify another target for the link.

The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.

The target attribute can have one of the following values:

• _self — Default. Opens the document in the same window/tab as it was clicked
• _blank — Opens the document in a new window or tab
• _parent — Opens the document in the parent frame
• _top — Opens the document in the full body of the window

Example

Use target=»_blank» to open the linked document in a new browser window or tab:

Absolute URLs vs. Relative URLs

Both examples above are using an absolute URL (a full web address) in the href attribute.

A local link (a link to a page within the same website) is specified with a relative URL (without the «https://www» part):

Example

Absolute URLs

W3C

Google

Relative URLs

HTML Links — Use an Image as a Link

To use an image as a link, just put the tag inside the tag:

Example

Link to an Email Address

Use mailto: inside the href attribute to create a link that opens the user’s email program (to let them send a new email):

Example

Button as a Link

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

JavaScript allows you to specify what happens at certain events, such as a click of a button:

Example

Tip: Learn more about JavaScript in our JavaScript Tutorial.

Link Titles

The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element.

HTML Links

Websites contain different types of links that take you directly to other pages or allow to navigate to a particular part of the page. The links in HTML are called hyperlinks. They are defined using the tag.

Hyperlinks are applied to a phrase, a word, an image or any HTML element.

The default color of links in HTML is:

• unvisited links: underlined and blue
• visited links: underlined and purple
• active links: underlined and red

This is default style of links, but you can can remove underline or change the color of the links using CSS styles.

Syntax

Example of the HTML tag with the href attribute:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h2>Link example h2> a href="https://www.w3docs.com/">W3Docs.com a> body> html>

Result

In the example above, we used to define subheadings and the tag to create links. Between and tags we have W3Docs.com. Click on it and it will redirect you to the homepage of our website.

Target Attribute

To open a link in a new page, you need to add target=»_blank» to your code. The target attribute specifies where exactly to open the linked page. With target=»_blank» the linked page will open in a new window or in a new tab.

ID Attribute

To navigate to a specific part of the page, use the id attribute.

Here is how you should do it:

1. Use id attribute to give a name to the part of the page, where a user should be redirected after clicking on the link. The value of the attribute can be a word or a phrase that describe that part (if you use a phrase, there should be no spaces — use underscores instead.)
   Ex. Link example with id attribute. We used attribute id called «jump»..

1. Create a hyperlink using the id of the link target, preceded by hash (# )
   Ex. When you click on this link, you will be redirected to the part of the page with «jump» id .

Now let’s see how this will look like in HTML code. In the example below, scroll down to the link at the bottom, click the link, and you’ll return again to the top.

Example of the HTML tag with the id attribute:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h2 id="jump">Link example with id attribute h2> p> Here can be any part of the page you want to the user to end up clicking on hyperlink. We use attribute id called “jump”. p> p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer bibendum ut ipsum quis elementum. Curabitur a sem a ante pulvinar tincidunt.

How to Apply a Hyperlink to an Image

To apply a hyperlink to an image, you just need to put the image in the tag. This is done with the tag, which should have some required attributes:

1. src — the source of the image
2. alt — alternative text for the image
3. width — width of the image
4. height — height of the image

Example of the and tags for applying a hyperlink to an image:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> a href="https://www.w3docs.com/"> img src="/uploads/media/default/0001/01/0710cad7a1017902166203def268a0df2a5fd545.png" width="190" height="45" alt="logo" /> a> body> html>

HTML images will be covered in depth in the next chapter.

Link titles

The title attribute is used for specifying additional information about an element. This information is often displayed as a tooltip text when you move the mouse over the element.

Example of link titles:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h1>Link Title Example h1> p> Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. p> p>The span class="attribute">title span> attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element. p> a href="https://www.w3docs.com/learn-html.html" title="Learn HTML">Learn more about HTML a> body> html>

External Paths

You can reference external pages with URL or a path that is corresponding to the current web page. The example below shows how you can do this:

Example of the HTML tag for referencing an external page with its URL:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h1>External paths h1> div>Example of referencing an external page with its URL div> p>a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML">More about HTML a> p> body> html>
