JavaScript Link a href rule

Hello,

I am new to javascript, so I would need some help here 🙂

As you can see below, the code is written in a way, that when there is a link, by clicking on it, the behavior is set to scrool down to the section that has certain ID.

However, I have one (or more) links (a href) on my webpage, that I do not want to inherit this behavior, but to work as an actual link - meaning redirect to different page within my website.

Any thoughts how I can achieve that, what other element do I have to write in the js?

Thank you in advance



JavaScript: 
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Smooth scrooling animation  //


const allLinks = document.querySelectorAll("a:link");
allLinks.forEach(function (link) {
  link.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const href = link.getAttribute("href");
    // Scroll back to top
    if (href === "#")
      window.scrollTo({
        top: 0,
        behavior: "smooth",
      });
    // Scroll to other links
    if (href !== "#" && href.startsWith("#")) {
      const sectionEl = document.querySelector(href);
      sectionEl.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
    }
  });
});

Use the <a> tag to link to a different page. If you don't need the scroll effect anchors work for that also.

But if you want the heavy hitter to do it: window.location = newUrl;
