The anchor tag <a>...</a> | Web Design Workshop

The anchor tag: <a>...</a>

To link these two pages, all we have to do is make the "about us" text in index.html hyperlink to aboutus.html. This is done in HTML by using the anchor tag.

index.html v2:

<html>
<head>
<title>The home page</title>
</head>	
<body>
Learn more <a href="aboutus.html" title="About Us page">about us</a>!
</body>
</html>

This makes the "about us" text into a clickable link:

Learn more about us!

Notice the two attributes href and title. The href attribute determines what page to go to, and the title attribute provides some hover text on what that page contains.

Also note that the anchor tag is not block-level. It sits along side the rest of the text. This is called inline display.
