01. How to Create HTML ID Attribute for HTML Tag
The HTML ID attribute is used to specify a unique ID for an HTML element/tag. Before you create a Jump Link you must create an HTML ID for the section where your link will jump to.
In the following steps, I have guided you on how to create an HTML ID attribute for H2 heading “Finding a New Style” on the Blogger Post Editor. Similarly you can add HTML ID for any HTML tag like <div>, <span>, etc.
- Click the Edit (Pencil) icon located at top-left corner.
- There are two Views of Blogger Editor i.e. HTML view and Compose View. The Compose view is the default view of Blogger Post Editor where you compose/edit posts and pages.
- Click the HTML view to open the HTML view/code of your page/post.
- Add the HTML ID attribute to your desired HTML tag. Here I have added the HTML ID attribute “find-style” in heading <h2>. You can name anything to HTML ID attribute. It is better to add a relevant name.
- Update the post after adding your HTML ID attribute.
<h2 class="Default" id="find-style" style="text-align: left;">Finding a New Style</h2>
