Server, Web Server & HTML

What is a Server?

A program that provides the service to the other computers. In this case, the other computers can be also called clients. And the term servers is being referred to where the request is being received for the web file and sent back to the client.

All the communication takes place with the help of protocols which are nothing but a set of instructions.

The Anchor element

Syntax: <a href="destination_url">label</a>

• This element or tag creates a hyperlink to web pages, files, email addresses, locations on the same page, or anything else a URL can address.

• This element has attributes, download, href, hreflang, ping, referrer-policy, rel, target, and type.

To link the phone number <a href="tel:+91 125466555">Call Us</a>" o/p: [Call Us](tel:+91 125466555)

To link email <a href="mailto:test@gmail.com">Email</a>

o/p: Email

• We can also enclose the <a> tag within other tags/elements like <p>, <strong> etc. and some tags within it as well.

• And we use the target attribute to open the links in a new tab.

Ex:

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.test.com">Test</a> This will open the link in the new tab.
