On pages links?

[Nasimov]

Hello,
How would I create links that would go to specific spots on my pages. How would I do that?

Thanks.

At the point you want the link to arrive at you put an anchor:

I believe for the same page the code, given as:

has all the info you need, but to give you a direct answer...



Set the id on the element you want to jump to.

The name attribute is depreciated, and only works on the <a> (anchor) element, whereas id can be set on any element.



the link to click is the same either way

These modern way of doing this is to use element ids, rather than a redundant anchor.

Sonhee has it all except for one difference between the old & new and that is with the old way of using an <a name=...> tag one could put <br>s between the opening and ending <a>-tags thus spacing the next section so that it would not be jammed up against the top of the page.

Make a page with a good bit of spacing in it to demonstrate this and you will see what I mean. The new way of using any tag's id as the jump-to point does NOT allow for this little trick because anything above it is in the previous section. The only way around it is to add <br>s below the tag with the ID in it that you just jumped to. Not really all that different except the old way was easier to remember for me since I was always using something like:

Here is a good reference on how to use a link to link to other parts of your page.
Internal Anchor Links

One quick caution is to not go overboard with internal anchors, as these probably means your page is too long.
