Anchor Tag in HTML

                                                                   Anchor Tag

Anchor tag <a> defines a link on HTML Page.

<a href="http://www.techaltum.com">Click Me</a>

On clicking Click Me, the techaltum.com page will open in the same tab.




We can also put a image inside anchor tag.

<a href="http:www.techaltum.com"><img src="logo.png"/></a>


If you want to open the page in new tab, use Target attribute.

<a href="http://www.techaltum.com" target="_blank">Click Me</a>


Default properties of a link are
  • Color=Blue.
  • Underline
  • Cursor=pointer.
  • active color:red;
  • visited color:purple.
However we can change them through css.

We can also link button to email.
Email Link

<a href="mailto:yourmailid@domain.com">Mail Me</a>
