As most of us know, when we are creating a website, we want our visitors to be able to find the information they are looking for quickly and easily. This is why it is important to have a well-organized website. One way to help with this is by using anchors and links.
An anchor is a tag that you can add to your text in order to create a link to another section on your page or to another page altogether. For example, let’s say you have a website about cats and you want to link to a section on your page about different types of cats.
You would first create an anchor tag with the name of the section you want to link to. Then, you would add the href attribute to the anchor tag. The value of the href attribute would be “#cats”.
The # symbol is called a fragment identifier. It tells the browser that the link is pointing to a specific section on a page. In this case, it is telling the browser to go to the section of the page that has an id attribute with a value of “cats”.
Once you have created your anchor tag, you can then add it to your text. For example, you could add it like this:
Click here to learn about different types of cats
Now, when someone clicks on the link, they will be taken directly to the section of the page about cats.
You can also use anchors to link to other pages. For example, let’s say you want to link to another website about cats. You would first create an anchor tag with the URL of the website you want to link to.
Then, you would add the Target attribute to the anchor tag. The value of the Target attribute would be “_blank”. This tells the browser that you want the link to open in a new tab or window.
Click here to visit a website about cats
Now, when someone clicks on the link, they will be taken directly to the website about cats in a new tab or window.
