In HTML, links represent a connection between the document and some other resource. That resource is referenced using the href attribute.

Some examples:

<a href="http://example.com/foo">I am a hyperlink</a>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />

The href content attribute is reflected by a href IDL attribute, so in JavaScript you can use it as a property of the element, in this case, the target of an event.

The target of an event is the element in which the event was dispatched.
