link to specific location on page

snappy · #1 Dec 3rd, 2006, 18:57

I have been using <a name="#"> to create links from a menu to different specific locations on a page.
I must be doing something wrong as each menu link goes to the same anchor point each time even though I've given them separate and specific names. It works on the first one just fine but then returns to the same point from all of the other links.

Any tips?

Hi Snappy

When I use anchors I write code like this (the anchor is named example) :

HTML: Select all

<a href="#example">example link </a>

Best have no spaces in anchor name
Cheers

Yes, you shouldn't use any characters in anchors other than a-zA-Z0-9_
