HTML Bookmark Links
Description
You can create links to sections of an html page. This is useful if you have a long page that you want to allow the users to quickly navigate to different sections.
When a user clicks on a bookmark link in the current page the page will scroll so that the bookmark is at the very top of the page.
Examples
For example:
First you need to place a bookmark (named anchor) in your page where you want the user to be able to jump to:
<a name="bookmark1" >Bookmark1</a>
Then you need to add a link that the user can click on to jump to the bookmark:
<a href="#bookmark1">goto bookmark1</a>
note: you can link to a bookmark on a different page but pre-pending the url of the page to the bookmark name in the href attribute:
<a href="http://website.com/alargepage.html#bookmark1">
goto bookmark1
</a>
