I am 17 years old and a young passionate and self-taught frontend web developer and have an intention to become a successful developer. I usually write about JavaScript and Web Development and share some tips in the articles.
You might have noticed the hashtag (#) at the end of a URL while browsing the web, something like this:
"https://google.com/#app"
The links which contain # (hashtags) are known as Hash-Links
Reason for using hash-link
- The link will not point anywhere.
- The main point of using hashtags in the links, is to navigate between elements of the pages and not between pages.
One of the common examples is the navigate-to-top feature on many websites.
<body id="top">
// adding anchor tag to navigate to top
<a href="#top">Go to top</a>
</body>
