They don't work.

But...maybe they're only intended to be single-page-only examples? (Now 
that I think about it...)

If so, then I must have misunderstood the examples. The fact that 
they're all pointing to different anchor links threw me off and made me 
assume they were supposed to be functional. (I'm accustomed to blank 
zero-length anchors being used to indicate "intentionally non-functional 
placeholder link".)

But I have noticed a lot of the sites that use anchor links to switch to 
completely different pages are basically broken. Since the very 
*beginning* of HTML, links have always been downright trivial to 
implement, and have always been considerably *easier* to *not* require 
JS. It's pretty much the single simplest, easiest, most fundamental 
thing in HTML. And yet, more than a decade now after <a onclick="..."> 
linking inexplicably appeared, some people are *still* trying to 
implement links using JS. It's insane.

However, you'll have to pardon that little rant. When I posted that 
"Apparently they can't even manage make basic links work properly", I 
swear it wasn't my intention to do another JS-rant. Coming from me, JS 
rants are pretty much redundant at this point ;)
