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 HTML tag defines a hyperlink. It has the following syntax:
The most important attribute of the element is the href attribute, which indicates the link's destination.
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:
Try it Yourself »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:
Try it Yourself »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
Try it Yourself »HTML Links - Use an Image as a Link
To use an image as a link, just put the tag inside the tag:
Example
Try it Yourself »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
Try it Yourself »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 Link Tags

For a complete list of all available HTML tags, visit our HTML Tag Reference.
A link (short for hyperlink) is an HTML object that allows you to jump to a new location when you click or tap it. Links are found on almost every webpage and provide a simple means of navigating between pages on the web.
Links can be attached to text, images, or other HTML elements. Most text links are blue, since that is standard color web browsers use to display links. However, links can be any color since the style of the link text may be customized using HTML or CSS styles. In the early days of the web, links were underlined by default. Today, underlining links is less common.
When a link is applied to an image, the link tag encapsulates, or surrounds the image tag. Since the image tag is nested inside the link tag, the image itself becomes a link. This method can be used to apply links to other elements such as
Below is an example of the HTML for a text and image link:

Relative and Absolute Links
Links The Pivot Corners
The first link above is a 'relative link' because it does not include the domain name. Instead the link is relative to the current website. Any internal link on TechTerms.com, for example, does not need 'https://techterms.com/' in the source. Rather, a relative link like '/definition/computer' is all that is required. Since the link starts with a forward slash, the path begins with the root directory. If a relative link does not start with a forward slash, the path is relative to the current URL.
The second link above is an absolute link because it includes the domain name. Absolute links are required for external links, which direct you to another website. They may begin with 'http' or 'https.' Absolute links may also begin with two forward slashes ('//'). This is interpreted as 'http://' for pages served via HTTP and 'https://' for pages served via HTTPS.
NOTE: The 'a' in the tag stands for 'anchor,' since early hypertext documents often linked to anchors (or markers) within a page rather than other pages. The 'href' within an stands for 'hypertext reference.'
