A typical anchor tag looks something like this:
<a href="http://www.trinity.edu/general_index.html">Trinity University</a>and will be rendered by a typical browser like this:
Trinity UniversityThe "
href=...
" stuff inside the opening anchor tag is called
an attribute of the tag.
In this case the value of the href
attribute is a URL,
or Uniform Resource Locator, which is essentially the Web address of the
document you'd like to link to. The stuff between the opening and closing
anchor tags is what will be highlighted and "clickable" when rendered by
a browser.
