2 months agoHyperlinks are typically created using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and can be added to text, images, or other elements on a webpage. The HTML code for creating a hyperlink is the anchor tag <a> and the attribute "href" which specifies the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or the location of the webpage that the link points to.
For example:
<a href="https://www.example.com">This is an example link</a>
Text hyperlinks are often blue and underlined, but don’t have to be. When you move the cursor over a hyperlink, whether it is text or an image, the arrow should change to a small hand pointing at the link. When you click it, a new page or place in the current page will open.
