I am playing around with an HTML template. I made a un-ordered list that enables the visitor to choose between two languages. Within it, i placed an anchor tag, and within the tag an image corresponding to chosen language, accompanied by some text. Though i have don't this before, for some reason, when i try to test the page on Firefox or Chrome the anchor tag won't work. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time.
Code:
<div class="polyglot-language-switcher" style="margin-top:10px;float:right;">
<ul>
<li style="display:inline;margin-right:2px;"> English (US)</li>
<li style="display:inline;"><img src="images/gr.png" alt="Greek"> Ελληνικά</li>
</ul>
</div>
EDIT:
I do not know, if this has any value, but i initially copied the code from this site http://www.ixtendo.com/polyglot-language-switcher-2/. But i only copied the HTML bit.
Just Download the Zip file from this link
https://github.com/ixtendo/Polyglot-Language-Switcher/archive/master.zip
and extract it and open the index.html file.... that is what you want.

So I have two separate HTML files. The first one holds a section with id="portfolio". The second one holds an a href. When I click the a href in the second HTML file I want to go to the first HTML file at the #porfolio section position. I know how to open the first HTML file from the a href. I also know how to get to the #porfolio section from the first HTML file. What I don't know is how can get to the #portfolio section in the first HTML file through the second HTML file. So how can I do that? Thanks in advance!
First HTML:
<section class="no-padding" id="portfolio">
...
</section>
Second HTML:
<a class="page-scroll" href="#portfolio">Portfolio</a>
This should work when included in second.html:
<a class="page-scroll" href="first.html#portfolio">Portfolio</a>
To clarify: you have 2 pages open in a webbrowser (the same webbrowser) and you want to jump back and forth between the 2 different pages, causing the web browser to change tabs/windows and re-display the requested page(s) at the anchor point you specify.
You need to talk to webbrowser and get it to do the work for you. The answer is browser specific.
I would start by creating child page (target='_blank') of original page and seeing what individual browsers allow you to get away with. Your mileage may vary, as they say.
I am trying to create a set of links to specific sections in the page using the <a href="#..."> notation, but it doesn't seem to work. Clicking on the link seems to do nothing and right-click -> open in a new tab changes the url but does not move to a different section of the page. I am using Firefox 28.0. My links are as follows:
<div>
<p>Contents</p>
<ul>
<li>Map</li>
<li>Timing</li>
<li>Timing Details</li>
</ul>
</div>
And they should be linking to:
<div id="map">[content]</div>
<div id="timing">[content]</div>
<div id="timingdetails">[content]</div>
Links to external webpages work fine. Placing the id="..." feature inside an <a> tag instead did not fix the problem. My webpage url is of the form http://127.0.0.1/foo/bar/baz/. This is within a Python Django project.
Any idea why this isn't working?
Every href needs a corresponding anchor, whose name or id attribute must match the href (without the # sign). E.g.,
Map
<a name="map">[content]</a>
An enclosing div is not necessary, if not used for other purposes.
Wow, thanks for pointing that out OP. Apparently Mozilla Firefox doesn't associate the id attribute with a location in the HTML Document for elements other than <a> but uses the name attribute instead, and Google Chrome does exactly the opposite. The most cross-browser proof solution would be to either:
1.Give your anchor divs both a name and an id to ensure max. browser compatibility, like:
Go to Map <!-- Link -->
----
<div id="map" name="map"></div> <!-- actual anchor -->
Demo: http://jsbin.com/feqeh/3/edit
2.Only use <a> tags with the name attribute as anchors.
This will allow the on-page links to work in all browsers.
what happened with me is that the href does not work second time and that because I should Remove hash value first,,
take look how I resolved it
go to Content 1
function resetHref() {
location.hash = '';
}
Just resurrecting this post because I had a similar problem and the reason was something else.
In my case it was because we had:
<base href="http://mywebsite.com/">
defined on the .
Obviously, don't just remove it, because you need it if you are using relative paths.
Read more here:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp
Content 1
Content 2
Content 3
....
<a name="1"></a>Text here for content 1
<a name="2"></a>Text here for content 2
<a name="3"></a>Text here for content 3
When clicking on "Content 1" it will take directly to "Text here for Content 1.
Guaranteed!
Today being March of 2022, I had a specific occurrence of this problem that illustrates how the whole web environment is an "issue" today.
Same requirement: links that go to a section of the page.
It worked on my desktop's Chrome and Firefox, but not on my client's and neither on my Android's Chrome.
After reading multiple threads several times for a few hours, I found out that, in order for this behavior to be the most consistent across browsers and browser versions, you have to implement both things:
a container with an id, and
an anchor with a name property,
The most important part is that the anchor tag with a name, must have content inside of it.
So, you have your links
Go to section
<!-- more links -->
And you have the sections you want your links to go to
<div id="page-section">
<a name="page-section" class="collapse"> placeholder-content (important) </a>
<!-- your section content -->
</div>
Since you MUST have content inside the anchor with the name, you can then hide it in several ways.
My approach was to just set it's height to 0.
In order for the height to be effective, the anchor tag's display property should be set to block or inline-block for example.
.collapse {
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
}
Finally it all worked, and I have to thank the many developers who struggle with this sort of thing (which should be much easier to do, but, the web...), and all the people who answer questions like this and share their knowledge.
This might help
JS:
function goto($hashtag){
document.location = "index.html#" + $hashtag;
}
HTML :
<li><a onclick="goto('aboutus')">ABOUT</a></li>
In my case The input tag was the problem. I implemented my tabs by input (radio buttons) which was preventing the anchor tag's behaviour.
It was like this at first (not working):
<a href="#name">
<li>
<label></label>
<input></input>
</li>
</a>
Then I removed the input tag and it worked:
<a href="#name">
<li>
<label></label>
// <input></input> <!-- removed it -->
</li>
</a>
Make sure you're not using preventDefault in javascript
Here is something that I finally got to work in IE, Chrome and Firefox.
Around any text create an anchor tag like this:
<a class="anchor" id="X" name="X">text</a>
Set "X" to whatever you want.
You must enclose something in the anchor tags such as text or an image. It will NOT work without these.
For the link, use this:
text
As for getting rid of the CSS for links using our anchor tag use something like this:
a.anchor {
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
}
This seems to work well.
I am creating a website with navigation that causes a page-jump. But when the page-jump event is executed my page will not load properly, and most content above the called is not loaded. Here is a copy of my navigation:
<div id="navbar-type">
<ul>
<li>BEAR SOUP</li>
<li>FIAT MOTORS</li>
<li>NEWSEUM</li>
<li>TEXAS PARKS</li>
<li>ZACH THEATRE</li>
<li>GUINNESS</li>
</ul>
</div>
How can I fix the code so that the items above the page-jump are visible?
Thanks
you just need to put <a name="bear-logo"> where you want the page to scroll to when the user clicks the link and the same for the others. For example, if you wanted to scroll to the <p> tag below, you could do it like this:
BEAR SOUP
<!--More Code-->
<a name="bear-logo">
<p>Bear Soup:</p>
There doesn't seem to be any error in the displayed HTML. However, you shouldn't need to include the target for inline page anchors.
I assume you actually have the links on the page. For example, <a id="bear-logo"></a>, <a id="fiat-logo"></a>, and so on.
Moreover, the issue you describe seems to indicate that there is some invalid code elsewhere on the page (perhaps JS or jQuery). I'd recommend commenting out sections of your HTML until you isolate the interfering culprit.
BTW, have you considering using a simple jQuery script to flow the navigation to the logos instead of just abruptly jumping to them?
I have a simple website, as I'm a beginner programmer. I inserted a <p> tag, which worked all fine and dandy. There was two words in the paragraph which I wanted to link to a different page on my website, and it decided it didn't want to work. I don't know why it didn't work, because I have <div> tags in the same document to the same page that were working fine.
Edit: To define what wasn't working: It wasn't clickable. It changed color, like a normal hyperlink tag should, but was just a piece of text. You just couldn't click it. Even tags with an invalid or nonexistent href should be clickable. Right? Maybe I'm wrong, again, I am a beginner.
The other strange thing was that in my CSS file, I had the text-decoration set to none, so it shouldn't have changed color in the first place.
CSS:
a{
text-decoration:none;
}
This is the HTML that I had an issue with:
<p id="p1">Ingsoc is the Newspeak word for English Socialism. (For more on Newspeak, see the Ministry of Truth page.)</p>
And here's an example of a link with the same destination that worked just fine:
<a href="TruthPage.html">
<div id="minitrue">Ministry of Truth</div>
</a>
Instead of
<a href="DifferentPage.html">
try
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/folderpath/DifferentPage.html">
where 'yoursite.com' and 'folderpath' are changed to match your situation.
The code looks ok to me. You could try...
<p />
<div>This is just basic text that was doing what it was supposed to. This was the text that I wanted to link to a different page.
</div>
if it's working within a div tag
Your problem is that your href="DifferentPage.html" is not vailid. My suggestion is to open that other page on your site, then copy the location in the address bar.
I'm very confused about how linking to an element within a page works. I'm learning the starter template for Twitter Bootstrap, and it contains the following code in the navbar:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
I understand that within the list elements are anchor tags to #about and #contact, but where is the content defined for this? In the example site, the .starter-template div stays the same whenever I click the navbar buttons. What do I have to do to change the div whenever a navbar button is clicked? I tried doing this, but it just made a giant link as you would expect:
<a name="about">
<div class="container">
<div class="starter-template">
<h1>About.</h1>
<p class="lead">#about</p>
</div>
</div>
</a>
Thank you for any help!

The links are placeholders. If you want to keep them the same, such as #about, you'd want to define an element in your page with that ID. For example, make a longer page, and include the following tag:
<h1 id="about">Here's the About Content</h1>
Clicking the link will jump to that spot in the page.
Wikipedia uses this approach to jump to sections in an article. For example, inspect the <span> tag containing the "See Also" text here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Bootstrap#See_also
However, since they are placeholders in the Bootstrap template, the idea is that you'll put in your own links as you see fit. For example, if you wanted to add a link to Yahoo, you'd enter your own HREF, like so:
Yahoo
Or target any other link in your site.
They're just placeholders. And if you want those targets to exist, you have to create the pages at the URLs they point to.
Such hash links can behave a little differently if you're developing a Single-page Application (SPA), but I think I've covered the simpler answer to what's confusing you. I.e., hash links attempt to jump to an ID within the page, but an element with that ID needs to exist for anything noticeable to occur.
This behavior is built into HTML; it's not something unique to using Bootstrap.
