A Element | A Object
Defines the destination of a hypertext link, or designates a named location within a document.
Remarks
The A element requires either the:
- href attribute when used as a hypertext link, to specify the link's destination URI.
- name attribute when used as an anchor, to identify the anchor's location within a document.
Both text and images can be included within an A element used as a hyperlink.
The A element can also be used to call a JavaScript function compliant with the ECMA-262 language specification.
