anchor

Is there markdown syntax for the equivalent of: Take me to <a href="#pookie">pookie</a> ... <a name="pookie">this is pookie</a> Steve Powell Take me to [pookie](#pookie) should be the correct markdown syntax to jump to the anchor point named pookie. To insert an anchor point of that name use HTML: <a name="pookie"></a> Markdown doesn't seem to mind where you put the anchor point. A useful place to put it is in a header. For example: ### <a name="tith"></a>This is the Heading works very well. (I'd demonstrate here but SO's renderer strips out the anchor.) Note on self-closing tags and id=

I have an url like so: http://localhost/place/663828/bangkok-paradise-restaurant-toronto#r306040 I am trying to see if theres the existence of the anchor tag along with getting it's value to do some code logic in the code behind. I have been trying to use the Page.Request, but none of the properties show the anchor link portion of the url. For example: Response.Write(this.Page.Request.RawUrl.ToString()); Pretty much tried the combinations/properties on this page: http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/269.aspx Just to finalize this topic: I copied Stackoverflow's approach with permalink... :D

Is it correct to use alt tag for an anchor link, something like <a href="#" class="test" alt="Something" src="sfasfs" ></a> Such things are best answered by looking at the official specification: go to the specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ search for " a element": https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element check "Content attributes", which lists all allowed attributes for the a element: Global attributes href target download rel hreflang type check the linked "Global attributes": https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#global-attributes As you will see, the alt

I've got a horizontal navigation bar made from an unordered list, and each list item has a lot of padding to make it look nice, but the only area that works as a link is the text itself. How can I enable the user to click anywhere in the list item to active the link? #nav { background-color: #181818; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; } #nav img { float: left; padding: 5px 10px; margin-top: auto; margin-bottom: auto; vertical-align: bottom; } #nav ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; background-color: #181818; float: left; } #nav li { display: block; float: left; padding: 25px 10px; } #nav li

I've been using Twitter Bootstrap to build a site, and a lot of its functionality depends on wrapping things in <a> , even if they're just going to execute Javascript. I've had problems with the href="#" tactic that Bootstrap's documentation recommends, so I was trying to find a different solution. But then I tried just removing the href attribute altogether. I've been using <a class='bunch of classes' data-whatever='data'> , and having Javascript handle the rest. And it works. Yet something's telling me I shouldn't be doing this. Right? I mean, technically <a> is supposed to be a link to

I have an anchor with both HREF and ONCLICK attributes set. If clicked and Javascript is enabled, I want it to only execute ONCLICK and ignore HREF . Likewise, if Javascript is disabled or unsupported, I want it to follow the HREF URL and ignore ONCLICK . Below is an example of what I'm doing, which would execute the JS and follow the link concurrently (usually the JS is executed and then the page changes): <A HREF="http://example.com/no-js-login" ONCLICK="yes_js_login()">Log in</A> what's the best way to do this? I'm hoping for a Javascript answer, but I'll accept any method as long as it
