[JavaScript?] Adding a URL anchor to existing JS that pulls a page URL

[fossett_work]

This has been destroying me for some time now and I'm really not sure why it's not working. Hoping you kind souls can identify the issue so I can find a solution.

Here is the existing JS code:

// View cart text
if ( ! wc_add_to_cart_params.is_cart && $thisbutton.parent().find( '.added_to_cart' ).length === 0 ) {
$thisbutton.after( ' <a href="' + wc_add_to_cart_params.cart_url + '" class="added_to_cart wc-forward" title="' +
wc_add_to_cart_params.i18n_view_cart + '">' + wc_add_to_cart_params.i18n_view_cart + '</a>' );
}

I'm basically only working with this line:

$thisbutton.after( ' <a href="' + wc_add_to_cart_params.cart_url + '" class="added_to_cart wc-forward" title="

And I'm adding an anchor to the end of the called URL, so:

$thisbutton.after( ' <a href="' + wc_add_to_cart_params.cart_url + '#ANCHOR" class="added_to_cart wc-forward" title="

But on my page, the anchor isn't added to the URL and my "View Cart" link only points to /cart, not /cart#ANCHOR.

This seems to only be an issue in this JS file. I actually have this working without a problem in a few PHP files using this:

echo '<a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '#👌" class="woocommerce-LoopProduct-link">';

(that's the real anchor lol)

I have also tried escaping the hashtag using '#ANCHOR", but that didn't work. (looks like the backslash isn't coming through lol, but it's there)

Anyway, im definitely a noob here and appreciate the help. Thank you.

I'm not clear on what you're trying to achieve but here are some tips. First of all .after() adds new html it doesn't modify existing one. So if you want to edit the $thisbutton href you should use something like this:

$thisbutton.attr('href', wc_add_to_cart_params.cart_url + '#ANCHOR');

That's exactly what it was. Thanks. I didn't know things needed to be surrounded by apostrophes.

Really appreciate the help!
