# WML - Links

WML provides you an option to link various cards using links and then navigate through different cards.

There are two WML elements, <anchor> and <a>, which can be used to create WML links.

# WML <anchor> Element:

The <anchor>...</anchor> tag pair is used to create an anchor link. It is used together with other WML elements called <go/>, <refresh> or <prev/>. These elements are called task elements and tell WAP browsers what to do when a user selects the anchor link

You can enclose Text or image along with a task tag inside <anchor>...</anchor> tag pair.

The <anchor> element supports the following attributes:

Attribute | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
title | cdata | Defines a text identifying the link
xml:lang | language_code | Sets the language used in the element
class | class data | Sets a class name for the element.
id | element ID | A unique ID for the element.

Following is the example showing usage of <anchor> element.

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN"
    "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml12.dtd">

    <wml>

    <card title="Anchor Element">
    <p>
       <anchor>
          <go href="nextpage.wml"/>
       </anchor>
    </p>
    <p>
       <anchor>
          <prev/>
       </anchor>
    </p>
    </card>

    </wml>

This will produce following result:

# WML <a> Element:

The <a>...</a> tag pair can also be used to create an anchor link and always a preferred way of creating links.

You can enclose Text or image inside <a>...</a> tags.

The <a> element supports the following attributes:

Attribute | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
href | URL | Defines URL of the liked page
title | cdata | Defines a text identifying the link
xml:lang | language_code | Sets the language used in the element
class | class data | Sets a class name for the element.
id | element ID | A unique ID for the element.

Following is the example showing usage of <a> element.

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN"
    "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml12.dtd">

    <wml>

    <card title="A Element">
    <p> Link to Next Page:
       <a href="nextpage.wml">Next Page</a>
    </p>
    </card>
