We've got our HTML tags and we've got our HTML tag attributes. How do we use them together? We can figure it out by exploring the a
tag and creating a link.
- Code an
a
nchor tag that defines an HTML hyperlink
Open index.html
in your text editor. Add an a
tag with the inner text of
Flatiron School
anywhere in the file. Then set the href
attribute of your
new link element to https://flatironschool.com
.
You can run the tests with this lab via learn
. Make sure you save the file
before running the test suite. Failing tests will provide helpful error messages
that you can use to debug your code — read them closely for hints!
While working through these assignments, your general workflow should center on writing code in the text editor and periodically running the test suite in the terminal to check your work.
Another great way to track your progress is to open up the HTML document in your browser and watch how each change you make in the text editor affects the visual layout in the browser. For reference, here's a guide to viewing HTML pages in the Learn IDE.
Once you have the HTML document open in your browser, you can make changes to it in the text editor, save the file, refresh the page in the browser, and see the changes instantly.
Here we saw how an attribute helps the a
tag do its job, which is link to another location. With this in mind, you can now work with more advanced and complicated HTML tags.
