Pointers to Other Web Pages

The basic HTML formatting tag for external references is <A>, the anchor tag. Its ending partner is </A>.

This tag is different from the tags we've seen so far because it must contain attributes.

HREF - Hypertext REFerence attribute

The HREF attribute is used to make a link to a URL.

HREF="value", where the value is the URL we wish to link with.

The syntax for a pointer to a URL is:

<A HREF="value">some active text</A>
