The a tag uses an attribute (setting) named href. Href stands for hyperlink reference. Set the href attribute equal to the desired Web page destination. Surround the word, or image, you want as your hyperlink with the start a tag and end a tag. When the linked page is not external (on the WWW), there is no need for http:// in the URL.
