Using anchors and the href attribute

‹a› and href

‹a› tag is the anchor tag which can be used to link to another page or move to a certain position on a page.

We use anchors when there is a lot of content on a page and may need to go directly to it. We need one to have an href attribute (the link to the section) and one to have a name attribute (the section to jump to)
