a link |
Source location of a Web resource target. It defines a link between the current element or fragment (the source anchor) and the destination anchor. | For a link to another location, either in the same document or in a different document, or linking documents |
The href attribute functions in much the same way for text files as the src attribute functions for images, script, frames and such files.
The href attribute is used for Source Anchored links, while the name attribute is used for Destination Anchor links. A link is from an href to a name -- they must have exactly the same value.
