How can I create an anchor link that jumps to a specific section on the same page?
Asked on Sep 28, 2025
Answer
To create an anchor link that jumps to a specific section on the same page, use the
<a> tag with an href attribute pointing to the id of the target element. The target element should have a matching id attribute.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
<a href="#section1">Go to Section 1</a>
<h2 id="section1">Section 1</h2>
<p>This is the content of Section 1.</p>
<!-- END COPY / PASTE -->Additional Comment:
- The
hrefattribute in the<a>tag should start with a hash (#) followed by the target element'sid. - The
idattribute in the target element must be unique within the page. - Anchor links are useful for creating a table of contents or navigating long pages.
