What is the correct code for turning HTML elements (H1, H2 or Paragraph etc..) into a link and search engines index texts of header and link both?
which one is better:
<a href="#"><h1>heading</h1></a>
or
<h1><a href="#">heading</a></h1>
The element which displays as a block (in this case <h1>
) always should surround %inline
elements (such as <a>
).
Another example <div>
should always be outside <span>
.
That is why:
<h1><a href="#">heading</a></h1>
is correct.
<a href="#"><h1>heading</h1></a>
is Wrong.
An even easier way of understanding this is that the following makes sense:
<h1><a href="#1">link</a> and <a href="#2">Another link</a></h1>
It would be highly unusual to try the inverse with multiple <h1>
s inside an <a>
.
