Tutorial on using the hyperlink tag in HTML

The various HTML documents of the website are connected to each other through hyperlinks to form a coherent website. Users can click on a hyperlink to jump to the page they want to browse. Therefore, hyperlinks can be seen in any website and are the core component that connects the websites to form a whole.

Anchor point placement
HTML hyperlinks are triggered by the <a> tag as an anchor. The anchor needs to have a carrier, which can be a text, a word, or a sentence, or it can be an image or a shape. When the mouse moves to a carrier with an anchor point, the mouse will turn into a small hand, indicating that the user can click. After the user clicks the anchor point, it will jump to the address corresponding to the href in the <a> tag.

Usage of jump attribute
In HTML links, the href attribute can be used to create a link pointing to another document, usually used for page jumps. This is very common, so I won't elaborate on it.
Use the name attribute to create a bookmark within a document so that the hyperlink can jump to a certain part of the page within the document. For example: Setting <a name=”dian1″></a> will place it in the middle of the page. Then set the <a href=”#dian1″>Jump to the middle of the page</a> anchor point in the page header. When the user clicks this anchor point in the page header, the page will scroll and jump to the location of the name bookmark, which is the middle of the page.

HTML link syntax
The HTML link code is very simple to use. For example:

The href attribute is used to set the jump target, and the text between the start tag and the end tag is displayed as a hyperlink.

The target attribute of an HTML link
The target attribute can be used to set how the page is opened after clicking on the anchor text. There are four reserved target names for use as special document redirection actions:
_blank
The browser always loads the target document in a newly opened, unnamed window.
_self
This target value is the default target for all <a> tags that do not specify a target, which causes the target document to be loaded and displayed in the same frame or window as the source document. This target is redundant and unnecessary unless used in conjunction with the target attribute in the document header <base> tag.
_parent
This target causes the document to be loaded into the parent window or frameset containing the frame referenced by the hyperlink. If this reference is in a window or in a top-level frame, it is equivalent to target_self.
_top
This target causes the document to load into the window containing the hyperlink. Using the _top target will clear all contained frames and load the document into the entire browser window. It is generally used to click on an anchor in an iframe frame. The target link is opened directly on the current page instead of being loaded in the iframe.

HTML link triggers desktop software to send email
By adding an address beginning with mailto: to the href attribute and combining it with the target email address, you can directly call the default email management software on the user's computer, automatically fill in the content and send the email.
There are many websites that have this feature. Just click on the email address and the email sending interface will pop up.
The email hyperlink code is as follows:

For example:

Its syntax mainly consists of the following parts
mailto: (send mail to) followed by the email address, for example: my@frontopen.com
? (separator) is used to follow the corresponding parameter after the address
&; (parameter connector) When setting multiple parameters at the same time, you need to use the & symbol to distinguish and connect them
cc=, bcc= (carbon copy), followed by the email address of the person to be cc'd, for example: my@frontopen.com
subject= (email subject) followed by your email subject
body= (email content) followed by the required email content
