click link brings you down lower in page?

[Chooco]

how do you make those things where if you click it, it brings you to the same page but lower down? the best example i can give is
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/bin...win32/#winsock

if you click on one of the links at the top it brings you to a certain point on the page.... how? (i would normaly read the source but i have a cold and i gotta wear 2 sets of sunglasses just to prevent my eyes from watering)

look up html anchors

notice the #<--- pound sign in the URL

<a name = "location">hehe take me here </a>

<a href="#location>Click me to go there!</a>

If memory serves me right that should work

what do you mean by location?

[vass0922]

whatever text you want, its just aname
its a label for the anchor

[Chooco]

i don't understand how you set where it goes to though.........

[Agent_Embryo]

The

<a name=gohere>

tag sets the spot where the

<a href=#gohere>Go Here</a>

link points to.

Get it?

What you are trying to do is an Internal Named Anchor Link.

This is a two step process:

1) Name the anchor

<a name="anchor"></a>

2) Create a text or image link

<a href="#anchor">Click here to move to point X</a>

When you click on the Link, it will drag the page contents up until the browser 'sees' the Named Anchor, and pull it to the top of the browser screen.

You can extend this concept beyond an internal page link as well.

Let's say you want to link from page1.html to page2.html#anchor:

On page1.html, you create the link:

<a href="page2.html#anchor">Click to move to Page 2, section X</a>

Then, in the code on page2.html, you would name the anchor

<a name="anchor"></a>

From your previous posts, your confusion seems to lie in targeting the destination. You simply use the <a name="xxx"> to create the 'anchor' above the text you want the browser to move to. And, you can 'name' it anything you want, just make sure the the anchor name and the link name are equivalent.

Make sense?

so i would have my site and there is a heading "BANNED GUYS" in the middle of the page... it would look like this?

<a href="#banned">click here to see banned guys</a>
<a name="banned">Banned Guys></a>

?

[tenor_david]

Yeah, and anywhere you inserted the code:

<a href="#banned">click here to see banned guys</a>

you would click on the text, and the browser would pull the text banned guys to the top of the screen.
