Is there a way to jump to a section on a different page when you click a link? I am a beginner, so I don't know JavaScript etc.
You don't need anything but HTML:
<a href="other-page.html#example">
and (on the other page):
<div id="example">
Wrap the part in a <div> and and define an ID to it. Like this:
<div id="loc">
Band then add an anchor tag with href set to that id:
<a href="#loc">
This will take the screen to that part the the referenced ID.

I am done with redirection to target page but what I want is to redirect to particular <div> of the page. How can this be achieved?
You can do it in two ways.
1) [via Javascript (+jQuery)]
home
$('#home').click(function(){
$(document).scrollTop(100) // any value you need
});
2) [via pure HTML]
home
<section id="home_section"></section>
<div id="go1">
<!-- content -->
</div>
<div id="go2">
<!-- content -->
</div>
<div id="go3">
<!-- content -->
</div>
...
Just append url id as below ,you are done !
news.html#go1
news.html#go2
news.html#go3
This is the easiest way for me
<li>Prices</li> (This could be a paragraph or a button)</li>
<div id="prices">
// Prices section
</div>
You need to add id attribute to that section of page you want to show and pass id name at the end of url using hash (#) symbol. For example you want to redirect user to div with id='test'
<div id="test">your section content</div>
Then you should use this url structure:
http://example.com/your_page.php?some_param=1#test
Basically you use anchor tags in HTML to get your job done.
You'l probably be familiar with them as:
As HTML convention, while defining a section, you can give each section an ID for identifiers :
<section id= "blahblah" ></section>
And you can redirect to the section by just mentioning them in the anchor tags :
You can link the html code with css.
In c#
Response.Redirect("http://www.example.com/index.aspx#id_in_css");
Here are two conditions,
1) If you want to redirect to div from different page:
Page
if(window.location.href.includes("div-panel"))
{
$(document).scrollTop(450);
}
2) If you want to redirect to div in same page:
<button id="button-click">Panel</button>
$('#button-click').click(function(){
$(document).scrollTop(450);
});
Give that section an id (lets say: section1) and then the redirect url will be http://www.sample.com/page#section1 .
Note: the # and the keyword, that's the id of the section you want your browser to scroll to.

If you really want that smooth sliding to the designed section, here's a quick step-by-step:
In the section you want, create an id property, i.e:
<section id="products">
next, using an anchor tag, insert # + the id for the section on the href property:
<a href="#products">
Now, once clicked, the page will center the section pointed on the anchor tag. But this will happen brutely. In order to smooth the scrolling process, in your CSS file, use this snippet:
html {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
And that's the simplest way!
There is also ways for doing it with native JavaScript and JQuery. For more, i recommend the article on CSS Tricks -> https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/
first you need add id where you want to redirect
<section class="com-padd com-padd-redu-top" id="deals-home">
than add
< a href="{% url 'home' %}#deals-home">Go to Home that page</a>
I've been looking around online for a solution but the methods I've found don't work. The methods online tell me to do this
Make a div with a class and ID
I make one like this
<div class="paragraphBackground" id="paragraphBackground">
<p class="paragraphContent">content of paragraph</p></div>
then it says to make a link like o have below.
Goto paragraph
But when I click on the goto paragraph it doesn't do anything.
What I'm wanting to use this for is a html readme for a mod that contains a sidebar on the left that shows all the contents of the readme and when you click on one of the links it will jump you to that section in that same HTML file.
Are you looking for something like this?
http://jsfiddle.net/huntmg90/
Basically you set a <a name="identityofanchor" /> in front of your text you want linked, then to link to it you do a label of anchor
Just use the following for the link: <a href="#readme">.
For the part that you want to scroll to, use this: <div id="readme">Read me!</div>
JSFIDDLE HERE.
Your link will need to look something like this:
Paragraph 1
And the corresponding content needs to have:
<a name="paragraph1">Paragraph 1</a>
Here's a Fiddle to help: http://jsfiddle.net/m0nk3y/9mx5yx7d/
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 want to link to a section of a dynamic page using the # anchor. Something like this:
<a href=page.php?id=3#section-name>LINK</a>
It didn't work. What is the right way to do it?
I'm not using a direct link, but a redirect like header("Location:page.php?id=3#section-name") from another script.
I have a section named section-name in file page.php. I guess page.php has a problem figuring out the value of the id to process (3 or 3#section-name). I am redirected to page.php which has its content repeated vertically.
You've only presented half of your code so I can only give a sample of the proper way to do it:
<body>
<a name="top"> </a>
<a href="#top">
Go To Top Of Page
</a>
</body>
When using anchor tags, you can target an element by its ID. Browsers will look for the ID before it looks for the name attribute when the link refers to such.
<a href="#section-name>LINK</a> will go directly to <div id="section-name"> if it exists.
Here's an example
Read: HTML Anchors with 'name' or 'id'?
A typical anchor tag works as follows:
A href link tag is written like so:
Jump to a001
See the #a001 above? That is referencing an id in the HTML page, and it will jump to it if you click this link.
To provide an example of how this id that we would jump to might look on a page, look below.
<li id="a001">text here</li>
Reference
I`ve seen on various websites, some links appear like this: http://www.myserver.com/page.html#something and when I click on it, it just moves to another portion of the page.
I want to know how to do this. Is it only the URL of the <a href> atrribute?
The fragment at the end of the url coresponds to an ID on the page you're visiting.
If in my page I have a section such as:
<div id="comments">
...
</div>
Then I can take the user to this section by attaching #comments to the pages URL
(http://www.example.com/page.html#comments)
Link to comments
Update
Some of the other answers here correctly point out that you can create an anchor with a name attribute as: <a name="example"></a>.
Although this is technically correct, it's also a very antiquated way of doing things and something I'd recommend you avoid. It's very 1997 as some might say :-)
The text after the hashtag corresponts with an anchor on the page. An anchor is a hidden element on the page which you can link to.
Think for example about a large page with an to top link in it
To create an anchor use:
<a name="C4"></a>
To link to it use: Text
Or you can even link to an id of an element
Check out: links (aka anchors)
Also note that you can use <a name="something"></a> or <a id="something"></a>
or using divs <div id="something"></div>
This is a link to a bookmark on the given page (or even just #something on the current page).
To make it work, you need to define something. You can do this using the name attribute of an <a> tag.
