Introduction

This section covers attributes and hyperlinks.

Attributes

This short lesson builds on what we learnt last time about basic HTML and tags, to introduce the concept of attributes. Attributes are used where a particular HTML tag requires extra information.

Links

A link on a web page consists of either text or an image which, when clicked on, sends the user to another page.

Links are specified using the <a> tag. In addition to the tag, we need to use an attribute to specify extra information; namely, the destination page.
