Hi there guys can someone tell me the simple difference between "src" and "href" attributes??

Thanks.

Anchors use href, images use src.

SRC is used for referring an image file: src="goodpic.jpg" inside an image tag

href is used for referring a webpage: href="http://www.nameofwebpage.com" inside an anchor tag

Thanks for the reply.
so src is for the file location? and href is for web address?

[davidmary]

src refers to image file

href refers to indicate the webpage.

No, both can use local or absolute (web) addresses. The difference is just formal. <a> used "href=", <img> uses "src=".

the src="" and href="" can b e used in many ways examples . . .

src="" used for a images example .swf .tiff .gif .png .jpg etc like so . . .
<img src="lol.png">

or you could embed a web page . . .

<embed src="http://example.com" height="500px" width="500px">

what about href used to make a link. . .

<a href="http://example.com">my site name</a>

and both used together as a clickable image. . .

<a href="http://example.com"><embed src="http://exapmle.com/lol.swf"</a>

or web page . . .

<a href="http://example.com"><embed src="http://exapmle.com" height="500px" width="500px"></a>

just use what's suitable for what you need XD
