HTML Links (Hyperlinks)

Elements allowing users to navigate from one web page, document, or resource to another (same site, external sites, files, emails, or page sections).

Tag (Anchor Tag)

HTML tag used to create hyperlinks; can wrap around text, images, buttons, or other clickable elements.

href Attribute

The most important attribute of the tag; specifies the destination URL or location of the link.

target Attribute

Attribute of the tag that specifies where the linked document will open when clicked (_self, _blank, _parent, _top).

target="_self"

Default target attribute behavior; opens the linked document in the same browser tab or window where the user clicked.

target="_blank"

Target attribute that opens the linked document in a new browser tab or window (commonly used for external websites and references).

target="_parent"

Target attribute that opens the linked document within the parent frame when the webpage is inside a frame or iframe.

target="_top"

Target attribute that removes all frames and nested iframes and loads the linked page in the entire browser window.

Tag

Self-closing HTML tag used to insert and display images on a webpage without requiring a closing tag.

src Attribute

Attribute of the tag ("source") that tells the browser the file path or URL where the image is located.

alt Attribute

Attribute of the tag ("alternative text") that displays fallback text if an image fails to load and aids screen readers for visually impaired users.

width and height Attributes

Attributes of the tag used to adjust how large or small an image appears on a webpage.

Image Floating (CSS float)

Technique using the CSS float property (left or right) to position an image so paragraph text wraps cleanly around it.

APNG (.APNG)

Animated Portable Network Graphics; modern animated format supporting millions of colors and smooth transparency (better quality than GIF).

GIF (.GIF)

Graphics Interchange Format; widely supported older format for simple animations, limited to 256 colors.

ICO (.ICO)

Microsoft Icon Format; stores multiple icon sizes in one file, used for website favicons, Windows icons, and cursors.

JPEG (.JPG, .JPEG)

Joint Photographic Experts Group; popular format for photographs with small file sizes using lossy compression and no transparency support.

PNG (.PNG)

Portable Network Graphics; high-quality format supporting transparent backgrounds and lossless compression (ideal for logos, screenshots, and UI elements).

SVG (.SVG)

Scalable Vector Graphics; uses mathematical shapes rather than pixels for infinite scaling without quality loss; editable with code.

Rule of Thumb for Image Formats

Photos → JPEG; Transparent Images → PNG; Animations → APNG or GIF; App/Website Icons → ICO; Logos/Scalable Graphics → SVG.

Favicon (Favorite Icon)

Small icon associated with a website that appears in the browser tab beside the webpage title, improving branding and tab identification.
