What Are Anchor Links?<\/strong><\/p>\n An anchor link is a link (or hyperlink).\u00a0 The anchor element (represented as the a tag) is common for all links (term \u201cjump link\u201d) is a link that jumps to a specific element on a page. So the main difference between anchor links (or jump links) and regular links is the destination.<\/p>\n Traditional hyperlinks send users to a page while anchor links send users to a specific section of a page. Anchor links can link to a section on the same page or to a section of a different page.<\/p>\n There are two major components that make an anchor link work.<\/p>\n With this, we can create an anchor link that jumps to this heading element. The key to an anchor link is the unique href attribute value.<\/p>\n Instead of a normal URL, you must include a pound sign \u201c#\u201d before the corresponding anchor ID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Scroll Down<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click Here to Jump to Heading<\/a> <\/p>\n\n
