Hello NP members!

Sorry for another dumb question!
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/296447-dw8-linking-specific-point-destination-page.html

I am trying to link to a specific section of a page from the index page. I looked up my Dummy book but since I don't know what this is called, I am having trouble looking it up. Can some help me with this?

Thanks again!




EDIT

I figured it out! I needed to use "name anchor". For others, here is a clip from w3schools.com:

The Anchor Tag and the Name Attribute

The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. When using named anchors we can create links that can jump directly into a specific section on a page, instead of letting the user scroll around to find what he/she is looking for.

Below is the syntax of a named anchor:

<a name="label">Text to be displayed</a>

The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. The name of the anchor can be any text you care to use.

The line below defines a named anchor:

<a name="tips">Useful Tips Section</a>

You should notice that a named anchor is not displayed in a special way.

To link directly to the "tips" section, add a # sign and the name of the anchor to the end of a URL, like this:

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_links.asp#tips">
Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>

A hyperlink to the Useful Tips Section from WITHIN the file "html_links.asp" will look like this:

<a href="#tips">Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>

Barrucadu

Also, with javascript you can scroll to any section of a page, regardless of ancor links.
I cant remember the function, but i'm pretty sure its scroll(X, Y)
