Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today in this post I will tell you how you can make use of anchor tag in different ways. Most of you must know about anchor tag. If you don’t know, <a> is defined as anchor tag, it is used to link a URL (of a page, document, files, etc.) with word(s) or image(s). While writing (in code) it looks like this
<a href="URL">Content you want to link with</a>But today I will tell you few more ways to make use of it.
To open URL you have linked in new tab or window: You need to use target=”_blank” in anchor tag
<a target="_blank" href="http://SJbn.Co/">Saket Jajodia</a>Demo: Saket Jajodia
Open email manager (e.g.: Microsoft Outlook) and compose new email: You need to use mailto: in href=”” attribute and then email address instead of URL
<a href="mailto:admin@SJbn.Co">admin [at] SJbn [dot] Co</a>Demo: admin [at] SJbn [dot] Co
Open feed: You need to use feed: in href attribute and then feed URL
<a href="feed:http://feeds.SJbn.co/Jajodia-Saket">Subscribe to RSS</a>Demo: Subscribe to RSS
Give title to the text or linked content: You need to use title=”” attribute in anchor tag
<a title="JW Player Is Now Made Easy To Embed With LongTail.tv" href="https://jajodia-saket.sjbn.co/?p=3661">My last blog post</a>If you don’t want to link then remove the href=”” attribute

Hover over it^ and you will see the hidden text
You can replace text (which are before </a> and after “>) with images also. If you have any question or problem let me know.
