Links do not have to be texts. It is very common to use images as links.As we explained, the visible part of our links is placed between the <a>
and </a>
tags. Thus our syntax would be like:
<a href = "anotherPage.html" target="_blank">
<img src = "imagesFiles/myphoto.png" alt = "This is a photo" title = "Click to visit the ....">
</a>
Note
You may have notice that we use href
for links and src
for media. These attributes may look similar, however the browser understand them very different.
When the browser loads a page, the process of loading is paused until all the src
files have been executed (e.g. all images have been loaded).In contrast, the process of loading is not paused for href
attributes.
