if a link in an <a href=""> tag has a hashtag (#), that means that the link won't go anywhere??

Answer 1

A hash - # within a hyperlink specifies an html element id to which the window should be scrolled.
href="#some-id" would scroll to an element on the current page such as <div id="some-id">.
href="//site.com/#some-id" would go to site.com and scroll to the id on that page.
only # acts as a placeholder, therefore will not link to anywhere

Answer 2

yea, its a dead link
