HTML Tag to Go to a Location on a Page?

Can someone remind me how to tag a location somewhere on a page, so that a link like "http://mysite.com/index.html#location" will work?

Thank you.

 

You don't need to include the whole link. Just include the id of the place where you want to go. Link with an href="#location" might do the trick.

 

Check these tutorials for anchor links:

That's it! Problem solved. Thank you!

 

Give the location you want to link to an ID. Then, use the ID in the anchor element.

For example:

<a href="#go">See Explanation</a>

<div id="go">Explanation</div>

Code (markup):

Or, you can use the name attribute:

<a href="#go">See Explanation</a>

<a name="go">Explanation</div>

Code (markup):

 

for <a name="go">Explanation</div> it should be </a>

 

Use both the name and id attributes for backward and forward compatibility.

 

<a href="someURL/#anchorName">Head</a>
<a name="anchorName">anchor of Head</a>

HTML:

pay attention "#" is very important, and "anchorName" is the name of the anchor text.
