Linking with #

[n1ck]

Ok this is so noobish, but I can't think of how to use # to link on the same page.
For instance, <a href="#blah">

Now what would i put where that blah section is on the page?

I haven't done anything like this in quite a while and I can't remember what its called to look it up. Thanks.

I think back in the old days, developers linked it to elements with a name attribute that had a value equal to the href.


<a href="#foo">foo</a>


Would link to


<a name="foo">foo</a>


But nowadays (and especially if you're using XHTML where name is deprecated on all but some form elements) you should link it to an element that has an ID with a value equal to your href.


<a href="#foo">foo</a>
<h3 id="foo">foo</h3>

Ah thank you very much exactly what I needed. :)
