What are HTML anchors?

Since almost the beginning of the Hypertext Markup language (HTML), as used online, HTML anchors have remained one of the main interactive elements used on almost all websites. HTML anchors are a type of brand represented by the letter "A", which allows the user to click on the element and is either transported to the universal location of the source (URL), such as another website or to another section in the same HTML document. It is more common to indicate HTML anchors as links or hyperlinks. As with many other HTML brands, anchors are able to adapt to the standard HTML formatting properties and extension of cascading style (CSS). The anchor is represented by the letter "A" at the beginning of the brand. When switching between the website, the URL target address address is assigned to the HyperText Reference Properties (HREF), although it can also be a program, a program or almost any type of content. The default anchor behavior is to open a new URL address in the same browser window and replace current content, althoughOLI This behavior can be changed to open the URL in new windows or in targeted frames on the page.

The second use for HTML anchors is either defined or moved to the parts of the displayed HTML document. Assigning the name to the Anchor brand via the NAME property is created an anchor in the document, which can be referred to elsewhere. Like the transition to another web page, the anchor mark can be used to cross the anchor on the same page as soon as it is defined, allowing the creation of content or indexes.

6 Anchor brand can wrap around text, pictures or whole formatted blocks. By default, the HTML visual elements that are surrounded by anchors, underlined and colored differently, depending on whether the user has visited the user. The anchor text also changes color when the mouse hovered over it, although it can be changed again.

Using HTML anchors to define location within JEdno's document was depreciated and should not be used except for maintaining an older code. Instead, anchoring in the document should be defined by assigning identification (ID) via CSS to block level marks such as headlines. However, the Anchor brand can still be used to jump to these places, albeit link.
