link to go to a particular part.....

How do you link a page to scroll down to a particular part of a page?

EDIT: in html

The Anchor Tag and the Name Attribute

quite simple.

[1] Go to the part in the page where you want to 'scroll to'. Insert some HTML code as follows, using a unique 'name':

<a name="Downloads">Download section here!</a>

[2] So, now.. if you want to point a LINK to that anchor (a), you point it to the 'name' you gave it.

If you want to link from the SAME page, you don't need a full URL:

<a href="#Downloads">Link to my download section</a>

If you want to link from a a DIFFERENT page, then you must use a full URL:

<a href="http://www.raincube.com/index.htm#Downloads">Link to my download section</a>
