Achor tag not working

HTML-CSS
1

Hi everyone. I’m learning HTML by myself.

I’m creating this post because I created a ‘achor’ tag and i want it to go into specific part of the website but when I run live server it doesn’t do that.

I have no error on my code.

Can you help me? Thank you!

Hi @JoaoBarbosa and welcome to our community!

Whilst you include the hash(#) in the href attribute as an anchor pointing to an element on the same page, you do not include the hash in the id attribute.

Hope that helps!
