How to make a name link.

A name link is a link that lets you jump around within a page. You can put a name anchor at any part of a page and jump to that part of the page from within that page or from another page. The name link has two parts. You first have to go to the part of the page you want to bookmark and give it an anchor name. The second part consists of the link connecting you to that name.

<a name=topic2></a>
<a name=topic2>Topic 2</a>

Notice that the first line of code does not have any text that will be associated with the name anchor. You could do this with a regular link but what good would it do? There wouldn't be anything to click. This is the first section of code that is needed to put a bookmark of where you would want to jump to. Let's look at how you link to this bookmark.

<a href=#topic2>Goto Topic 2</a>
<a href=helppage.htm#topic2>Jumpto Topic2</a>

The first line of code is used if you are jumping around with the same page. You can create these name links to help people within a large page. Along with a link to take them to a particular place, you can also give them a link to take them back to the top of the page. The second link lets you jump to topic2 if where on a different page. It not only loads the page named helppage.htm but also jumps to the topic2 section. This finishes up name links.
