Linking to an area of another page <a name=""> for a new webpage

Just curious how this is done.

For example, say I want to setup a help page for my website, which contains all available help and FAQ topics. Throughout the website I would like to add help links/popup window next to different sections/words, and when clicked will bring up the help page showing the exact help topic on that page.

How can I create a link which will send the user to an external pop-up page whilst brining them to the correct part of that page?

I'm having a nightmare finding this on google as I'm not sure how to phrase it.

HELP!

Thanks,
Jake

 

<a href="page.html#section">

Code (markup):

I'm fairly sure.

edit : Yup, when viewing the latest post on a DP thread look at the address bar ...

Yeah do it like above and place id="section" in a HTML element wherever you want it to appear, like at the beginning of a paragraph or H1 tag for example.
