An anchor tag (
a
) is used to define a link, but you also need to add something to the anchor tag - the destination of the link.
Add this to your document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My first web page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My first web page</h1>
<h2>What this is</h2>
<p>A simple page put together using HTML</p>
<h2>Why this is</h2>
<p>To learn HTML</p>
<h2>Where to find the tutorial</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.netomoney.com">HTML Dog</a></p>
</body>
</html>
The destination of the link is defined in the
href
attribute of the tag. The link can be absolute, such as “http://www.htmldog.com”, or it can be relative to the current page.
So if, for example, you had another file called “flyingmoss.html” in the same directory then the line of code would simply be
<a href="flyingmoss.html">The miracle of moss in flight</a>
or something like this.
A link does not have to link to another HTML file, it can link to any file anywhere on the web.
