yes, these are called named anchors or bookmark links The href starts with # and has the id of the element you want to go to With this method you can also navigate to a specific place on another page for example: <a href="contact.html#form">Contact form</a>

sry its just not working im trying to get the navi to go to #developer when the user clicks developer in the <a>

MarkBoots•5mo ago

make a codepen please a wait, developer div id is starting with a #, that is not necessary. only on the link (sorry, did not spot that on first sight) so it should be:

<a href="#developer">DEVELOPER</a>
<div id="developer"></div>

<a href="#developer">DEVELOPER</a>
<div id="developer"></div>
