How to set link field href attribute to "#"

Question

Using a general link field, I want to be able to author the field such that the final contents of an outputted link are:

<a href="#">Anchor Text</> (notice the empty anchor "#")

I'm rendering this field using the standard field renderer:

@Html.Sitecore().Field("Field Name", someItem)

The problem is that no matter how I author the field, I can never seem to get the href to populate with only #. Is there a way the link field can be authored to output only #?

• External links always append "http://" when I set the URL to be #
• If I try to use an anchor link and leave the anchor field empty, the href attribute remains empty
• If I try to use an anchor link and set the anchor as #, the href attribute has a value of ##

Answer 1

Use Insert JavaScript option

Specify Link description only (in your case 'Anchor Text')

Example

Field raw value

<link text="Anchor Text" linktype="javascript" url="" anchor="" />

HTML Output:

<a href="#">Anchor Text</a>
