Absolute link

• Links to another page outside of your web site.

     In the above example is relevant for absolute link.

Hyper link

• Highlighted and underlined text.
• When you click on the link , it takes to another page on the web.

Relative link

• Links to another page in your site.
• Do not have to specify the entire URL of the page.

There we mush have at least two html files.

As example I used first.html and second.html.

In the first.html file put the link to second.html file as , <a href = "second.html" >

When you run first.html file and click Next page then it runs second.html file.

Refer the following to clarify this.

Targeted link

• Include target attribute.
• If you specify target = "_blank" , a new browser window will be opened.

Refer the following example to clarify what is targeted link.

In here targeted link is appear in another tab.
