## Href Attribute
|
|
|
|
Href is short for "Hypertext Reference" and is an HTML attribute. The href attribute is mainly used for `<a>` tags to specify the URL for a webpage the link leads to (whether it be on a different section of the same page, or on a completely different webpage).
|
|
|
|
#### How to use
|
|
`<a href="URL"></a>`
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
```html
|
|
<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org">This is an absolute URL</a>
|
|
|
|
<a href="index.html">This is a relative URL</a>
|
|
```
|
|
#### Another use
|
|
`<a href="#top">Go to top</a>`
|
|
|
|
#### Description
|
|
It will take you to that position in the page where `id="top"` is given.
