HTML Link Attributes: href and target
Learn how to use the href and target attributes to control your links' destination and behavior.
Link Attributes: The GPS for your Links
You know how to create a link with `<a>`, but how do you control it? Attributes are like the GPS instructions that tell your links where to go and how to get there.
The 'href' Attribute
The href attribute specifies the URL of the link's destination. It can be an absolute URL (like `https://www.google.com`) or a relative URL to another page on the same site (like `/about.html`).
The 'target' Attribute
The target attribute controls where the link opens. Using target="_blank" is a common practice for external links, as it keeps your site open in the original tab.
