Name Anchor Description Creates a hyperlink.  When clicked on, the browser is directed to another URL.  The URL can be a document in the same website or from a different website altogether. Attributes HREF Specifies the URL to link to.  To link to a file on the same site use the local path e.g. href="index.html" or href="folder/contents.html".  You can also use dots to link to a document in the parent folder e.g. href="..\document.html".  To link to another site, use the full URL e.g.: href="http://www.martin2k.co.uk". NAME Used on its own, this attribute marks the text as being a bookmark.  When the user click on a link to go to the bookmark, they are taken to that part on the page.  E.g. this link will take you to the top of this page because the Name heading has been marked as being a bookmark. TARGET Specifies the target frame.  As well as name of frames, there are predefined values that can be used to open the page in a specific location: Value Description _blank Open in new window _parent Open in parent frame _self Open in same frame _top Open in current window, regardless of frames used TITLE This attribute creates a tooltip when the user hovers the mouse cursor over the link.
