How to use <b> tag and <a> tag together in HTML?

Question

I've following text in my webpage:

<a href="http://www.google.co.in">Search Engine</a>

I want this hyper text tobe in bold. At the same time this hyperlink should work. How to use <b> tag with <a> tag? Also I don't want to use CSS for making the text bold. I want to use only <b> tag for making the hyperlink text bold.

Answer 1

Is that what you want ?

Your link is inside a body tag so what's wrong with b tag ? :-)

<b><a href="http://www.google.co.in">Search Engine</a></b>

Also

<a href="http://www.google.co.in"><b>Search Engine</b></a>

Question : But wouldnt it display : <b>Search Engine</b> instead of Search Engine ?

Answer: No. it won't , it would have been if you html encoded the < and >.

(you could have tried it yourself ;-))
