When designing a website, you want to be certain that users will have no trouble locating the information they need. Particularly now, when the majority of us access the internet via our smartphones, we frequently scroll through lengthy websites and Facebook newsfeeds, working out our thumbs every day as we search for certain information.
Anchor urls facilitate easier navigating on websites. These enable users to quickly access the information they need without having to scroll endlessly or look through your main menu. They can go back to the top, go to the bottom, or directly to your FAQ page with just one click on an anchor or visiting an anchor url. Study up on anchor urls and how to incorporate them into your website. Your guests will appreciate it, as will their thumbs!
What are anchor urls?
You can put anchors, which are invisible position indicators, anywhere on your website. You can use them to direct visitors to a page describing one of the services you provide or the solution to a frequently asked question.
You can utilize anchors on your website in two main ways:
Connect elements to an anchor: Every element on your website, such as an image, a button, or a particular line of text, can serve as an anchor. Once the anchor is in place, you can link to it from any other element on your website. When a visitor clicks on one of these items or visit the anchor url, they are immediately redirected to the appropriate anchor.
Build an anchor menu to display all of the anchors you have generated for your website in a stylish floating menu. This website menu follows users as they scroll down the page, making it incredibly simple for them to use your site.
Why are anchor urls good?
Because they enhance your site's UX (user experience), anchor links are fantastic. They enable users to quickly get to the content on your website that interests them without having to wade through irrelevant pages.
Anchor urls make it easier for users to visit your site and navigate your site, especially when single page and long scrolling websites are currently all the rage. Anchor urls are also your mobile device's greatest buddy. By clicking on an anchor url that brings them directly to the page they're looking for, visitors who are browsing your site on their phones can navigate your site more effortlessly.
Where can you use anchor urls?
On your site, you may drag & drop an anchor pretty much anywhere! Use anchors in your header or footer, on a specific section of your About page, on the CEO's biography, or on the PayPal button where payments are accepted. There are countless alternatives!
How to create anchor urls on Wix
The Wix Editor makes it simple to add anchors to your website. Here's the skinny:
In the Wix Editor, choose Add in the left menu.
Click on Menu & Anchor.
Click on the Anchor under IN-PAGE NAVIGATION or drag it to the relevant location on your page.
Drag the anchor to the location it will lead to.
After making each desired anchor, you must next add/configure the url. To help visitors hop to your anchors, you can either create an anchor menu, link any element on the website to an anchor or create an anchor url. Follow these two procedures to add the urls:
Click on the gear icon ⚙️ and then the Anchor Settings will open
Choose a name for your anchor
Then click on Anchor URL to expand the Anchor URL settings
Configure the name you want your anchor url to be
Publish your site to save changes
Then click on 'Go to URL' to test your anchor URL

Love the tutorial!!!
You are truly great at creating these instructional videos!! Thank you! I am having trouble figuring out . . 'the triggered email' . . it is not being sent to the user submitting the form, the form and the email to the admin works great. . Could you point me to where this might have already been addressed? or any other help? On a second note. .the submit button success/failure message will go back to the default message once it's connected to the data set(I couldn't figure that out either. )

Great Tutorial
Hi !
First of all, I want to thank you for your great tutorials, they helped us a lot with the coding.
But I still need your help, if you don't mind. I have based on Save Calculated Field using Wix Data Hooks Codes, to code my form . but the problem is I don't know why the code only reads the computation for "week2" computation and not the "weeks"
here is the code
I also did a separate column in the dataset where the chosen datas for both fields will be placed.
$w.onReady (() => {
$w("#Person").onChange(() => {
$w("#weeks").onChange(() => {
$w("#week2").onChange(() => {
let person = Number($w("#Person").value);
let weeks = Number($w("#weeks").value);
let week2 = Number($w("#week2").value);
$w("#totalLabel").show();
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(weeks * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(week2 * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
});
});
});
});

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I see why this is a problem. The onChange() function seems wrong in combination.
To combine onChangeFunctions use this method
$w("#Person, #weeks, #weeks2").onChange(() => {
//code here
});
