## Anchor Object
The Anchor object represents an HTML hyperlink.
An Anchor object is created each time the `` tag appears in an HTML document.
An anchor can be used to create a link to another document (via the href attribute) or to create a bookmark within a document (via the name attribute).
You can access an anchor by searching the anchors[] array in the Document object, or by using document.getElementById().
