Hyperlink A text, an image or a 'button' in a Web document that can be clicked on with a mouse. A hyperlink - or just link - will take you to another Web document or to a location in a document. When you click on a link, the browser requests the document that is specified in the HTML code for the link and presents the document on the screen. If the HTML code indicates a specific location within a document, the browser will jump to this location. If not, it will jump to the top of the document. In most browsers, links are indicated by the cursor turning into a pointing hand when it touches the link.
