You've seen the href so many times when you write your HTML codes.  It stands for **H**ypertext**REF**erence For example,

```
<a href='http://example.com'>What does Href mean?</>
``` 
From the code above, the *href* is an attribute within an anchor tag 
```<a></a>
```, which is used to identify sections within a document or to create a link to a page.
