What is a Link

Introduction to Links

In computer terms, a link, also known as a hyperlink, is a reference or navigation element in a document that connects one section of the document to another or to an entirely different document or webpage. Links allow users to move between different resources quickly and easily.

How Links Work

A link is typically an underlined or highlighted text or an image that users can click on to navigate to another location. When clicked, the browser follows the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated with the link to retrieve and display the corresponding page or file.

Types of Links

• Internal Links: These links connect different parts of the same website.
• External Links: These links take you to a different website or resource.
• Anchor Links: These links navigate to a specific section of a page.
