Basically?

So there's a small difference, I did not know that.. what is it a link with a name instead of the url?

I always thought they were the exact same.. and I thought hyperlink was just the proper name.

hyper = active
link = go somewhere

hyperlink = actively go somewhere

hyperlink is the full way of saying "link".

It does not matter if the linked object is a normal text phrase, a shown URL, or an image. They are all hyperlinks (or links). They actively go to another page, site, or area.


<a href="value_here"> text, url, or image here </a>

[ at least that's my opinion ;) ]

With the help of a system called hyperlinks, you can click on certain words or graphics and connect automatically to other web pages that may have more information about that certain subject. The connection is what we call a hyperlink, or "link" for short.
