manix Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've seen this "#" in php links and I wondered what does it do. Is it the same as "&" :? I tried googling it first but I couldn't find an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbones Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 In an anchor tag, the # designates a link to an id attribute. If there is no valid id attribute applied after the #, your browser will just reload the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manix Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 call me stupid but I didn't really get it.. What ID? like in <div id='blabla'> ? EDIT: Oh I think I get it, if I have an element with the id mentioned in the link after the # the page will scroll down to that element, is that it? EDIT2: Great I just tested it, thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
