We use the <a> i.e. the anchor tag to create links in an HTML web page. The <a> tag is set inside the<body>…</body> tag. To set the URL of the page we want to link, an attribute is used, which is called href:

<a href="https://studyopedia.com/quiz/">Quiz</a>

Above, we linked a page using the <a> tag and its attribute href.

Let us see an example to set links using the <a> tag and its attribute href:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>HTML Example</title>
   </head>
   <body>
