<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> div{ width :100%; height:400px; border : 1px solid black; } </style> </head> <body> <h2>Welcome to GeeksforGeeks</h2> <p>This is the example of <i>Redirect to a particular section using HTML on same page</i> </p> <a href="#contactUs"> Contact Us </a> <br/></br> <div> <h2>Home section</h2></h> </div> <div> <h2>About Us section</h2> </div> <div id = "contactUs"> <h2>Contact Us section </h2> </div> <div> <h2>Team Section</h2> </div> </body> </html> |
