I’m learning web development and I’ve encountered another beginner challenge, I want to make the header text of my website, clickable, so that it also redirects me to the homepage, how could I achieve this?, may you help me please?.
The homepage text is "Cookieland" and I want it to be clickable so that it redirects me to "index.html" homepage, I’ve tried "href" but I couldn’t find a way to make it look like a normal text and not a link.
Here’s both my CSS and HTML codes.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Best Cookies: Buy the best chocolate cookies!</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<!--This is the website header-->
<div>
<h1 id="Cookieland">Cookieland</h1>
<a href="Cookieland" itemprop="url" class="site-header"></a>
<form class="search-container" action="#">
<input type="text" class="search-input" placeholder="Search Cookies">
<button type="submit" class="search-button">Search</button>
</form>
<nav class="navbar">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="order.html">Order</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS

>Solution :
This will turn your header into a link that will redirect to index.html
<a href='./index.html'><h1 id="Cookieland">Cookieland</h1></a>
If you don’t want it to look like a link, you can use this CSS here:
.Cookieland{
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
This will remove the link’s underline and also make it so your cursor turns into a pointer when hovering over the link.
