Day 4: Using Img tag as an HTML link, HTML Self Closing Tag :
HTML <a> target Attribute :
- To specify the location of a document to be opened when a link is clicked, target attribute is used.
- Example : In order to open a linked document in a new tab or window, the below given code can be used :
- <a href="abc.com" target="_blank"> abc.com website will be opened into a new tab</a>
Using Img tag as an HTML link
- In order to use an image as a link in HTML, the <img> tag which is used for displaying images, is written inside <a> anchor tag, and the url of the website to open is specified in the href attribute of the anchor tag. Width and height attributes can also be given to the <img> tag to define width and height of the image to be displayed.
- Example :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Adding images as links in HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
The below given image will act as a link :<br>
<a href="https://google.com">
<img alt="googlelogo" src="googlelogo.jpg"width=”150" height="70">
</a>
</body>
</html>
HTML Self Closing Tag :
- Self closing tags do not need to be closed manually, they do not have a separate closing tag to close these tags.
- <img/>, <input/>, <br/>,<hr/> etc are examples of self closing tags.
- In HTML 5, we no do not need to include the slash character to denote a closing tag, because it is understood automatically that empty elements do not require any closing tag, hence <br/> can also be written as just <br> (Without the slash)
- Empty tags, singleton tags, void tags are alternate names for self closing tags.
