HTMLAnchorElement: hash property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The hash property of the HTMLAnchorElement interface is a string containing a "#" followed by the fragment identifier of the <a> element's href. If the URL does not have a fragment identifier, this property contains an empty string, "".

See URL.hash for more information.

Value

A string.

html
<a id="myAnchor" href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAnchorElement/hash#examples">
  Examples
</a>
