Links are used everywhere on the web, with the purpose of directing users to various content items. They're usually indicated by your cursor turning into a hand icon. Links can be text, images, or other elements contained within your HTML or webpage.
The target attribute can be used to tell the browser where to open the link. If you'd like your link to open in a new tab, you can use the `target` attribute along with the `_blank` value inside your opening `<a>` tag.
When you need to guide users to a specific part of your webpage, let's assume the very bottom, you first need to create an html element with an `#id` that you want direct your user to - in this case the `<footer>` at the bottom of the webpage. For example:
Now to link to the footer (make the page scroll down to the footer when you click it), we have to assign the hash `#` symbol to the `href` attribute like this:
```html
<ahref="#footer>More about us<a/>
```
To demonstrate how this works, here is a link that takes you to the top of this page: <ahref="#link-top">Click Here.</a>
