How to Link With the HTML Option Tag

HTML is a programming language used on computers to design Web pages. Any task that you need a Web page to perform can be programmed into the code of a site using HTML. A prime example of this is inserting hyperlinks into Web pages. A hyperlink is a block of text that you can click on to take you to another site. Hyperlinks can be inserted into HTML using the option tag, which is easy enough to manage once you get the formatting down.

Instructions

1. Type "<a href=" (without quotes) into the HTML code of your website.

2. Type the URL Web address of the page you'd like your hyperlink to link to immediately following the "<a href=" in your HTML code. Put the URL Web address in quotation marks.

3. Type a ">" (without quotes) immediately following the URL Web address in your HTML code. Immediately following the ">", type the text that you'd like the hyperlink to display.

4. Type "</a>" (without quotation marks) immediately following the text that you'd like the hyperlink to display into your HTML code. Your HTML hyperlink is now complete.
