Senario: I write "anchor" tag,inside it i give "href".After that requirement is that when i click on the link it should do nothing,but we cannot left empty "href" tag too.How could this possible?
Standard practice way of declaring empty href would be to use href="#" or href="javascript:void(0);"
Explanation:
href="#" it's a simple and quick fix, but adds an extra entry to the browser history when clicked.
Link explicitly add a null-effect href attribute, so when clicked it doesn't have any effect and also does't mess with the browser history.
kindly use
This should solve your issue.
since the HREF may also be used to identify sections within a document, the HREF contains two components: the URL, which is the actual link, and the clickable text that appears on the page, called the "anchor text."
you could use
or
href="javascript:void(0);"
which essentially means that a void do nothing since evaluation of 0 using void calculates to undefined primitive value.

I have an href link set to output to target=‘right’. ‘right’ is an I frame in the parent window.
<a href=‘http://www.example.com/abc.pup?ev=$ev’ target=‘right’>Click</a>
The desired target, ‘right’ is in the parent document. The link is not finding the target. It worked well until I I did some editing.
The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document:
You can see details from this link:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
The right syntax would be:
Click
SOLVED. When the required link href is written in full as http://www.example.com/rqdpage.php the output will be a new window regardless of the target stated, probably for security reasons. The required target is implemented when the required page is in the same directory as the calling page and is stated as a relative path. Thus
<a href=‘rqdpage.php?ev=$ev’ target=right></a>
worked perfectly. Output in frame “right”. Thanks all.
I have created a WordPress theme and the images in it were all broken so I added a base path tag to the page.
<base href="https://www.example.com/wp/wp-content/themes/my-theme/"/>
But now all of the anchor / links don't work.
click here
The above link points to "https://www.example.com/wp/wp-content/themes/my-theme/index.php#an_id_on_the_page" instead of the same page but further down.
WordPress recommends adding "" to the path of every image. But that means breaking a workflow and editing the HTML code on every change.
Are there any ideas to fix this?
UPDATE
It looks like if I put a "/" in front of the anchor it looks like it is working. I'll test it some more to confirm.
No links or named anchors or blank hrefs will point to the original subdirectory, unless that is made explicit: The base tag makes everything link differently, including same-page anchor links to the base tag's url instead, e.g:
<a href='#top-of-page' title='Some title'>A link to the top of the page via a named anchor</a>
becomes
<a href='http://www.example.com/other-subdirectory/#top-of-page' title='Some title'>A link to an #named-anchor on the completely different base page</a>
<a href='?update=1' title='Some title'>A link to this page</a>
becomes
<a href='http://www.example.com/other-subdirectory/?update=1' title='Some title'>A link to the base tag's page instead</a>
With some work, you can fix these problems on links that you have control over, by explicitly specifying that these links link to the page that they are on, but when you add third-party libraries to the mix that rely on the standard behavior, it can easily cause a big mess.
Resource,
I want to link one HTML page to another one. So, I use anchor tag
<a href="xyz.html>sign</a>.
As my "xyz.html" is in the current folder and on click on "sign", it does not work.
Even I also applied jQuery on click method.
Assuming "sign" is in your anchor tag, try this :
Sign
You not Close the double quote
sign
The<a> tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another
<a href="#"
onclick="
window.open(
'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(location.href),
'facebook-share-dialog',
'width=626,height=436');
return false;">
Share on Facebook
</a>
Apologies if this is a beginner question. But why is "href" there? What purpose does it serve? I am not getting its purpose.
I am assuming "onclick" a new window will be opened which has all the information in it about the link to be shared and the FB target destination.
Then why is "href" there????
HTML anchors (<a> tags) define clickable links, but only if the href attribute is present. (It is possible to not have the href element, but either a name or id instead; in this case it is not a clickable link, but rather a destination for a link). See the HTML specification for more detail.
The # element on a href attribute indicates a predefined anchor, for instance, http://domain.com/page#section. In this case, when the link is clicked the browser will open the page at http://domain.com/page, and in its HTML the browser expects a section called #section, defined by a <a name="section"> on its code. Upon finding this section, the browser will position the screen at this position.
When the section isn't specified, just the # is provided, it means it's a link pointing to the local page (or more specifically, the top of it). If the page isn't at the top, it jumps to the top. If it is at the top, nothing happens.
You can test it by creatin an HTML file with a text link, it will be clickable, but there will be no effect (the only effect is, if it isn't at the top, it will jump to the top).
The return false; at the end of the JavaScript code is there to prevent the "jump to the top", if you remove it, the browser will position its view at the top of the page upon clicking.
Some will argue that href should always point to actual links and using # placeholders is bad practice.
It specifies where the URL goes to. In this case it's set to # meaning it won't open up a URL but instead will do nothing. It's telling the 'a tag' that this function will DO something.
See it as a default measure.
Hope that helps :)
Tags <a> are not considered as clickable links if they does not contains a href.
I'm trying to create a page where a user clicks on a link on the left and is taking to a specific section on the page.
Here is example. I've added as much of the code I'm using as I can.
What your trying to do works with the Id or Name attribute.
To elaborate: The anchor tag that your rendering as the target of where your page needs to go should be:
<a id="myId"></a>
or
<a name="myId"></a>
or both..
When you build a link to another part of the page, you need two parts, the link (that you click), and the target (that the page scrolls to).
The link's href attribute needs to start with a '#'. This signifies that the link is 'internal' to the page, and not another, external page.
The target can be either a named anchor <a name="something"></a> or an element with an ID: <div id="something">. You don't include the '#' in the name or the ID.
That's the key part you're missing. Take the '#' off the front of your <a name=""> values and it will work.
Let us know if that works, and we can help you develop this further: There's a lot more polish you could add, but let's get the basics working first.
