Anchor Tag

                  Anchor tag is used for creating hyperlinks in HTML web pages. It is a container tag and used
                  as <A> Hyperlink Text </A>. Where, Hyperlink Text is a text or an image. The <A> tag has the
                  following attributes:
                       HREF: HREF stands for Hypertext Reference. It takes the URL of the web page which we
                       want to link when we create external linking.
                       NAME: This attribute takes the section name of the web page as its value when we create
                       internal linking.

                       VLINK: This attribute is used to set the color of the visited links.
                       LINK: This attribute is used to set the color of the links.
                       ALINK: This attribute is used to set the color of the active link.

                       TARGET: This attribute is used to specify the place in which the linked web page will open.
                       It takes any one of the following four values:
                         •  blank: Opens the linked web page in a new window or tab of the web browser.
                         •  parent: Opens the linked web page in a parent window or tab of the web browser.
                         •  self: Opens the linked web page in current window or tab.

                         •  top: Opens the linked web page in the window that is on top in all the windows.
                       TITLE: This attribute is used to define the title of a link, which appears to the user as a
                       tooltip.
                  External web pages can be linked using HREF attribute of the anchor tag. The HREF attribute
                  takes the URL of the web page in double quotes.

                  First page of a website, also known as Home page contains various links of other web pages. Let
                  us take an example of a website of the ABC Public School in which we are using external linking.
                  The Home page of the website is as shown:




















                                                                 Output

                  Preceding web page contains six hyperlinks Admissions, Events, Sports, Activities, About Us and
                  Contact Us which are created by using the <A> tag. The code to create the Home.html web page
                  is as follows:
                  <HTML>
