Explaining “#”

Question

I thought when you put “#” in place of where an actual link goes, like this- <a href=“#”> that it creates a dead link and is still clickable, but doesn’t load anything.

However, in the last example I did the webpage was reactive and the tag that had <a href=“#”> had an active link. I’m confused on how that is possible if the link is considered dead.

Answer 1

Basically # is used to create internal links. By internal links, I mean to link parts of same webpage in the webpage.

Answer 2

thank you
