If you are looking at fragment navigation within a page, then you need an element with an id property. the id property marks the destination target. Then you can use your anchor to navigate to it. The id property can be any element type, even another anchor element although that is highly unusual. Reference: <a>: The Anchor element - Linking to an element on the same page - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN[^]

To re-write your code:

HTML

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>

And the anchor element:

HTML

<a href="#introduction">Click to navigate to Introduction</a>

<a name="home">

You should not use an anchor as the target, instead use a

or something else.

<div name="home">
