What becomes of the content in the <a>tag, if the tag doesn't have a href attribute?

Answer 1

This is simplified!

The content just stays as text.
Anchor tags are really just Paragraph tags with a hyperlink pointer slapped onto them - the browser also places higher priority on them only IF they hyperlink to another page.

Content safe and sound.

Answer 2

anchor tags and paragraph tag are not the same anchor tag is inline tag and paragraph tag is block tag so content will be same but the content will be in line

Answer 3

Thanks a lot
