It is used for link to sites or creates the hyperlinks to specific pages. We can give the link on same page. This also use for send mail to specific mail account.
<a> href="" target=_blank>www.xpode.com </a>
Note : _blank is used if we want to open a new window on click of link. If we dont want to open a new window and want to open link in same window then we need not to write target=_blank
We can use in another way also. If page is very big in length. Then we can give the link for reach at specified link on same page. You can see this example on any websites where at the end of the page you will see the link of "Top" or icon where after clicking on that link user may go on top of page.
