Summary
This hour has shown you two uses for the <a> tag not covered in Hour 3. You learned how to create named anchor points within a page and how to create links to a specific anchor. You also saw how to link to your email address so readers can easily send you messages. Table 7.1 summarizes the two attributes of the <a> tag discussed in this hour.
