Question

What happens when you click a hypertext link?

Answer 1

Answer Hypertext is text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyperlinks) to other text which the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence.

Explanation:

When you click a hypertext link, you are directed to a different page related to the link. This could be a new page on the same website or a page on a different website.

Answer 2

At a high level, when you click on a link, your browser and operating system figure out where you’ve clicked. The web page that you’re viewing has hidden information associated with whatever you clicked on. That’s called a Uniform resource locator (URL).
