Anchors in Wix are Broken - Dynamic

[imagineimage]

I’m having trouble with
Anchors in dynamic pages are pegged on creation of link to specific item pages, not to ALL pages in a collection

Working in
I am so confused I do not know if I am in e.g. Wix Studio Editor, Wix Editor, Dev Mode, CMS, etc.

Site link (any dynamic item page will show the error)

What I’m trying to do
Create an anchor like I used to do, on a master dynamic DB page that all my records are loaded into, and link a text in the page mini menu that jumps down to that location on the page.

What I’ve tried so far
Everything you can possibly imagine

Extra context
If you know anything about dynamic pages and CMS and anchors you know what I am experiencing. The use of anchors has been broken for god knows how long.

I believe this is expected behaviour (having to specify the page for the anchor), although should be a simple fix with just a few lines of code.

I recently shared the solution in another topic:

In Wix Editor Dynamic Pages, Can a Button Link to a Section/Anchor on the Same Page?

I believe this is expected behaviour - but I can see why this might be needed. That said, it’s possible to fix with a short bit of code: $w.onReady(function () { $w("#button").onClick(() => { $w("#section").scrollTo() }) }); Where the button and section ids are updated to what is relevant for your setup

Expected behavior?? That makes abs no sense. Heres the screen cap. As you can see, the dialog to create the link is asking for A PAGE aka an ITEM. I want ALL items in the db loaded into the master page to have this link, not just a specific page, so the feature is broken. Who on EARTH would want that kind of behavior on a master page into which all items are loaded? I want to have the link on the master page, like Click here to jump to Anchor 1, to exist and jump to Anchor 1 on ALL pages/items. Besides, I have no idea how to use that code.

I am so pissed off, sorry, and Im Canadian and Im pissed off. Please tell me how to use that code.

Heres what I see right now so im ready to test the code for the text box jump to anchor 1.

ive got the code in place I think but theres no hyperlink so the use of the code doesnt create a hypelink from that text to anchor1

ok well obviously the code doesnt work so my knowledge is an issue here. When I use the dialog to create a hyperlink it still asks for a specific item which works, but when I load another item the link takes the user away from the item they are viewing to the item linked in the dialog, not to the item they are currently viewing. So any item I select in the db when that linked is clicked will go to the item specified in the dialog. I cannot select ANY item, just a specific item which is no good.
