I have a sidenav made up of a few images. I want these images to be links to sections on the same page - anchor links. However, I can't seem to get it to work.
Here's my HTML:
<div id="nav2"><a href="#powerlifting"><img src="img/icon1.png" alt=""></a></div>
<a name="powerlifting"></a>
<div id="powerlifting">
<div class="header1"><h1>POWERLIFTING</h1></div>
</div>
Here's the styling on #nav2:
#nav2 {
position: fixed;
top: 14.285vh;
cursor: pointer;
}
Thanks in advance! :-)
The above code seems to be working. The anchor tag with the href of #powerlifting does actually jump to div#powerlifting. You may not be seeing it because your div might not be tall enough.
If you want it to scroll down with an animation, though, you'll either need to use JS or CSS.
This may be a related answer: Scrolling to an Anchor using Transition/CSS3. The accompanying JS Fiddle (from the related answer) might be helpful to you: http://jsfiddle.net/YYPKM/3/
position: fixed or sticky in LayoutYour layout for an image and link is spot on and under normal circumstances you should have no problem. So we can probably assume it's the surrounding layout being designed around the fixed navbar that's crippling the standard behavior of jumping to an <a>nchor. Instead of waiting for more of your code (which -- no offence -- is probably a horrible mess) I have made a fully functional HTML/CSS solution for the problems that you will probably have once you get the simple anchor working.
When reviewing this deno, click the Full page link. It doesn't look so great in a frame that has non-standard dimensions because the majority of the demo's lengths are related to viewport.

I have figured out the answer to my question! Adding a z-index value to #nav1 seems to do the trick
#nav2 {
position: fixed;
top: 14.285vh;
cursor: pointer;
z-index: 9999;
}
