Attributes

HREF

If the HREF attribute is present, the text between the opening and closing anchor elements becomes hypertext. If this hypertext is selected by readers, they are moved to another document, or to a different location in the current document, whose network address is defined by the value of the HREF attribute.

NAME

If present, the NAME attribute allows the anchor to be the target of a link. The value of the NAME attribute is an identifier for the anchor. Identifiers are arbitrary strings but must be unique within the HTML document.

For example, a document can define a target as follows:

<a name=”LPMud”>LPMud</a>

An anchor can then jump to this target using an anchor as follows:

Another type of World is Lars Pensj|’s <a href=”#LPMud”>LPMud</a>.

An anchor can also jump to a different document appending the target to the document URL, as follows:

Another type of World is Lars Pensj|’s <a href=”mudtypes.html#LPMud”>LPMud</a>.

XCH_HINT

The XCH_HINT attribute can be used to give users more information about what will happen if they select the anchor their cursor is over. The information is displayed in the Pueblo status bar.
