: The Anchor element

Attributes

This element’s attributes include the global attributes.

Causes the browser to treat the linked URL as a download. Can be used with or without a filename value:

  • Without a value, the browser will suggest a filename/extension, generated from various sources:
    • The Content-Disposition HTTP header
    • The final segment in the URL path
    • The media type (from the Content-Type header, the start of a data: URL, or Blob.type for a blob: URL)
    • download only works for same-origin URLs, or the blob: and data: schemes.
    • How browsers treat downloads varies by browser, user settings, and other factors. The user may be prompted before a download starts, or the file may be saved automatically, or it may open automatically, either in an external application or in the browser itself.
    • If the Content-Disposition header has different information from the download attribute, resulting behavior may differ:
      • If the header specifies a filename , it takes priority over a filename specified in the download attribute.
      • If the header specifies a disposition of inline , Chrome and Firefox prioritize the attribute and treat it as a download. Old Firefox versions (before 82) prioritize the header and will display the content inline.

      The URL that the hyperlink points to. Links are not restricted to HTTP-based URLs — they can use any URL scheme supported by browsers:

      • Sections of a page with document fragments
      • Specific text portions with text fragments
      • Pieces of media files with media fragments
      • Telephone numbers with tel: URLs
      • Email addresses with mailto: URLs
      • While web browsers may not support other URL schemes, websites can with registerProtocolHandler()

      Hints at the human language of the linked URL. No built-in functionality. Allowed values are the same as the global lang attribute.

      A space-separated list of URLs. When the link is followed, the browser will send POST requests with the body PING to the URLs. Typically for tracking.

      How much of the referrer to send when following the link.

      • no-referrer : The Referer header will not be sent.
      • no-referrer-when-downgrade : The Referer header will not be sent to origins without TLS (HTTPS).
      • origin : The sent referrer will be limited to the origin of the referring page: its scheme, host, and port.
      • origin-when-cross-origin : The referrer sent to other origins will be limited to the scheme, the host, and the port. Navigations on the same origin will still include the path.
      • same-origin : A referrer will be sent for same origin, but cross-origin requests will contain no referrer information.
      • strict-origin : Only send the origin of the document as the referrer when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS→HTTPS), but don’t send it to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).
      • strict-origin-when-cross-origin (default): Send a full URL when performing a same-origin request, only send the origin when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS→HTTPS), and send no header to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).
      • unsafe-url : The referrer will include the origin and the path (but not the fragment, password, or username). This value is unsafe, because it leaks origins and paths from TLS-protected resources to insecure origins.

      The relationship of the linked URL as space-separated link types.

      Where to display the linked URL, as the name for a browsing context (a tab, window, or ). The following keywords have special meanings for where to load the URL:

      • _self : the current browsing context. (Default)
      • _blank : usually a new tab, but users can configure browsers to open a new window instead.
      • _parent : the parent browsing context of the current one. If no parent, behaves as _self .
      • _top : the topmost browsing context (the «highest» context that’s an ancestor of the current one). If no ancestors, behaves as _self .

      Note: Setting target=»_blank» on elements implicitly provides the same rel behavior as setting rel=»noopener» which does not set window.opener .

      Hints at the linked URL’s format with a MIME type. No built-in functionality.

      Deprecated attributes

      Hinted at the character encoding of the linked URL.

      Note: This attribute is deprecated and should not be used by authors. Use the HTTP Content-Type header on the linked URL.

      Used with the shape attribute. A comma-separated list of coordinates.

      Was required to define a possible target location in a page. In HTML 4.01, id and name could both be used on , as long as they had identical values.

      Note: Use the global attribute id instead.

      Specified a reverse link; the opposite of the rel attribute. Deprecated for being very confusing.

      The shape of the hyperlink’s region in an image map.

      You can create a link to a specific section or element on a the same webpage in two steps:

      You can try it out by clicking on any of the links above.

      • On long articles: If you have a really long articles, its makes it easy for your users to navigate your website.
      • A specific call to action on a webpage: Jump links are perfect you want your readers to subscribe, or contact or any other action located lower in the page.
      • One page website: If you own a one page website, you know that your users can easily go to the different sections of your webpage just by clicking the navigation links at the top.

      In HTML, you use an id attribute to identify one specific element on a webpage. Just like each person has an unique Identification number, the id value you create and assign to your HTML element should be unique on that specific webpage.

      Rules for creating ids

      • Each of your ids must be unique on that one web page.
      • Each of your ids must not have spaces in the name. If you want to seperate words and numbers, use hyphens and underscores instead of spaces.

      in my case, I want to be able to jump to my subheadings so this is how my id’s will look like:

      Create same page internal links: Assign an id to the section/ Element

      Create same page internal links: Add the id value to the link

      screenshot of my heading

      If you are using markdown, headings are automatically converted to their lowercase id equivalent seperated by hyphen with no special characters. If you inspect my headings, this is what you will see. See what I mean.

      Normally, you use links to point to different webpages and website. To make your link to point to the current webpage, you use a href=»/» or the full url of the current webpage href=»devpractical.com/same-page-internal-link»

      To point to a specific part of a web page, you add a pound sign followed by the id name at the end of the url ie. href=»/#assign-id» or href=»devpractical.com/same-page-internal-link/#add-link»

      If you click on the navigation items at the top, you will be able to jump to specific parts of the web page.

      For you to add a link to a different page, you will need the url of that page and the id value of that section you want to link to. You will then use the full url of the web page and then add the id value at the end of the url. Example:

      I want to link to the books section a different page on this website. The url is https://devpractical.com/resources/ and the heading is books. I can create a link as follows:

      If you are linking to a different website, you will have to find out if the website has assigned ids to the section you want to link to. You can do this by:

      If the element does not have an id value, you cannot link to that section. If it does then you can just add the pound sign and id to the url of the website and you are good to go.

      • Choose the top most part of your website. Which is the logo.
      • Get it id value.
      • For me its the website’s logo with the id “logo”.

      So the link to go to the top will become:

      • Choose the bottom most part of your website.
      • Get it id value.
      • For me its the footer with the id “footer-style”
      • So the link to go to the bottom will become:

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

      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!

      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!

      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 Images

      CSS Tutorial

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

      Example

      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

      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.

      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.
