Accessing and Validating the External Site Link Button and Anchor Links Component

Overview

Participants can interact with External Site Link Buttons and anchor link components placed on event pages to navigate to relevant information or external resources. Validating these elements ensures that they behave as expected — opening the correct pages, scrolling to the correct sections, and providing a smooth navigation experience during the event. This article explains how participants can access and validate these components on the event website.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Access the Event Page

  • Open the event website using the link provided by the organizer.
  • Navigate to the page that contains the External Site Link Button or anchor link component.

2. Locate the External Site Link Button

  • Scroll through the page until you find the button.
  • Buttons are typically styled to stand out and may include labels such as "More Info", "View Agenda", or custom titles assigned by the organizer.

3. Validate the External Site Link Button

  • Click the button to confirm it redirects you correctly.
  • The link should open the intended external website or page.
  • If configured to open in a new tab, your browser should display the destination site in a separate tab.
  • If configured to open in the same page, your current view should update to the new destination.

4. Locate Anchor Link Components

  • Look for links or buttons that point to sections within the same page (for example, "Go to Agenda" or "Jump to Speakers").
  • These may appear as text links, icons, or styled buttons.

5.Validate Anchor Links

  • Click the anchor link to ensure the page scrolls smoothly to the correct section.
  • Confirm that you are taken to the intended block, heading, or content area.
  • Verify that the scroll position is accurate and that the target section is visible and readable.

6. Review Link Behavior and Accuracy

  • Confirm that labels and button names match the content or destination they refer to.
  • Ensure there are no broken links, missing sections, or unexpected redirects.
  • If the link does not work, refresh the page and try again.

7. Report Issues (If Applicable)

  • If a button does not redirect, or an anchor link does not scroll to the right location, inform the event organizer.
  • Provide details such as the page name, link label, and what happened during validation.
