What is ‘href’ and how is it used

‘href’ stands for “Hypertext Reference” and is an attribute used in HTML anchor (<a>) tags to define the URL of a hyperlink. It is used to link different web pages or resources such as images, files, and other websites. The syntax is: <a href=”https://example.com”>Click Here</a>. When users click the link, they are directed to the specified URL. ‘href’ can also be used with target attributes like _blank to open links in a new tab. Additionally, it can link to local files by providing a relative path, such as <a href=”about.html”>About Us</a>.
