The href attribute is supported in all major browsers.What is an URL
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is used to address a document (or other data) on the World Wide Web.A full Web address like this: http://www.1000sourcecodes.com/html/html_intro.asp follows these syntax rules:
scheme://host.domain:port/path/filename
The scheme is defining the type of Internet service. The most common type is http. The domain is defining the Internet domain name like1000sourcecodes.com.
The host is defining the domain host. If omitted, the default host for http is www.
The :port is defining the port number at the host. The port number is normally omitted. The default port number for http is 80.
The path is defining a path (a sub directory) at the server. If the path is omitted, the resource (the document) must be located at the root directory of the Web site.
The filename is defining the name of a document. The default filename might be default.asp, or index.html or something else depending on the settings of the Web server.
