设置元素href值jQuery

Question

There are a few posts on this already, and this one which couldn't be more simple to follow. For some reason though I can't get the element to link to the href attribute.

This is the class for the element that needs to be linked: .vc_tta-tab:nth-child(1) ;

There is an anchor on the page #about ;

This is the jQuery I'm using:

<script>
jQuery('.vc_tta-tab:nth-child(1)').prop('href','https://example.com/#about');
</script>

The idea is to use the .vc_tta-tab:nth-child(1) element to link to the /#about section on the page.

Please can someone help me correct what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

VDesign is right about using attr instead of prop . For your URL I think you might need the actual page to use the anchor. Like http://example.com/index.html#about instead of http://example.com/#about .
