Href
Hypertext Reference (HREF) is an HTML attribute that you use to specify a link destination or Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Most commonly you will see the HREF attribute paired with an anchor tag <a>.
The HREF attribute gets the exact meaning of a link depending on the element that is using it. For instance when using with the <a> tag, it is referencing the location of an object express as a URL. When using the HREF attribute with the <image> tag, the HREF attribute is referencing the URL of the image to render.
Examples:
Link to Google's Homepage:
-> The text "Visit Google's Homepage acts like the link to the Homepage
<a href="https://www.google.com">Visit Google’s Homepage</a>
Image as an Link:
-> Google Logo that refers to Google's Homepage
<a href="https://www.google.com">
<img border="0" alt="Google" src="https://www.google.com/logos/doodles/2015/googles-new-logo-5078286822539264.3-hp2x.gif" width="100" height="100">
