Tài liệu XHTML Quick Reference

<a> . </a>
The <a> tag is called the anchor tag and it is most commonly used with the href attribute to
create a hypertext link (usually referred to as just a link). By simply clicking on the link with a
mouse or using a keyboard command, you can travel from one page to another page on the
same web site or a different one. By default, the new page is normally displayed in the same
window or frame, unless you specify otherwise using the target attribute.
Note that links cannot be nested. An <a> .</a> element cannot contain other a elements.
You can insert characters, images, line breaks (<br /> or <p />), and text between the opening
and closing a tags. It is recommended that you should not insert Cascading Style Sheets code
or any other HTML tags between the opening and closing tags. Rather, place all such tags
outside of the a element.
The separate closing tag is mandatory.

target of the link. Character encoding defines how a sequence of bytes is to be converted into
characters for display.

of influence around the a tag.

hreflang
The hreflang attribute can only be used when the href attribute is also being used. It specifies
the language of the page that is the target of the link.

The name attribute is a string of characters that is used to label an element with a name. The
name must be unique to that document and cannot be reused. The name can be the target of a
link.
rel
The rel attribute is currently not fully supported by most browsers. It is a space-separated list of
one or more values that specify the relationship from the source page to the target for a link.
Some of the proposed values are, appendix, bookmark, chapter, contents, copyright,
glossery, help, index, next, prev, section, stylesheets, and subsection.
