I recently started learning HTML and CSS as an SNHU MS student. I was instructed to establish a link in a page (tag a) so that when someone clicks on it, an external website will load. It loads for the majority of the website, but not for https://www.google.com - Should I take any special measures for Google or google wont allow to display from another website ?
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="https:\\www.google.com" >Click here</a>
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Ah right, you didn't mention you were using a frame. Indeed, some websites don't like getting framed 😁
Nothing much to be done about that. Though perhaps you can fiddle with the request headers, see console error below.

The error I get from Chrome is quite misleading :

but when you bring up the debugger, the console message explains it better:

Your code works fine for me, using Chrome. Google.com doesn't mind being linked to.
What browser are you using ? I notice you use backslashes in the URL, can you try with forward slashes ?

Thanks for your response . I am using chrome. , I tried in IE and it shows a message "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" seems google has disabled the feature of displaying the page inside a frame.
