HTML DOM Anchor object
Anchor object
Anchor objects represent HTML hyperlinks.
An Anchor object is created each time the <a> tag appears in an HTML document.
Anchors can be used to create a link to another document (via the href attribute), or to create a bookmark within a document (via the name attribute).
You can access anchors by searching the anchors[] array in the Document object, or using document.getElementById().
