Scrolling down Links?

    Hello!

    This may me answered somewhere in he forum, but I don't know how to call it and I don't know how to search for it.

    i am creating a website with only One page. The top menu links to different topics inside the same page, so when people click on them, the page scrolls down to the exact position where the information is located.

    I don't know how to do that. I've noticed websites that do this, they have a "#" sign, but I don't know how to assign the exact position.

    Could you please tell me how to do this?


    In case I didn't explain myself very clearly, I'll try to explain again:

    Imagine a very very long webpage with a menu on the top. Let's say on of the links is "Credits", which information is located near the bottom (but not exactly at the bottom) of the page. When people click on that link, the webpage does a Scroll down motion to the exact point where credits is located.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Kindest Regards,

    chewie.

    I call them internal links and it can be done in this way
    for linking to that place something like <a href="#article1">article 1</a>
    and for defining that link (where to go) place something like <a name="article1">something</a>
    hope it helped u !
