what tag do you use to create a link?

The anchor tag is the one used to create a hyperlink in HTML. The base of the tag is the letter "a" and it requires are least one attribute--href--which tells the browser the address to which the link points.

The href attribute be a full URL with the protocol, or it can be relative to the current document. To link to a page called "landing.html" our anchor tag might look something like this.

Click Here!

The text contained after the initial tag and before the closing () will be the "clickable" text, and the browser will render it that way (normally blue, and underlined, by default.)

You can also place an image tag inside the anchor, and that will turn the image into a link.
