Anchors??
I have never used them because i have never needed them, but now i have taken over a project that does use them and i cant get them to work.
please tell me what the problem is with http://www.ycac.or.jp/adults.html

A lot of times Front Page puts %20 into the code when it's not necessary. Try taking it out.
Also, when using A name the code moves the viewer to the word that is specified, i.e. Clicking on Playgroup took me to Playgroup, but I missed the top part of the info I was to read.
EXAMPLE:
<a href="#playgroup">Playgroup
<a href="#child%20care">Child Care
You may also want to change the A name code -- maybe just use 'adu' instead of the 3 word phrases that are currently used. For the next phrase that begins 'adult' add another letter.
Also, this piece of code:
<a href="kids.html#summer camps"><br>
has no associated link to click on.

Don't use spaces.
An internal anchor (like a hyperlink) looks like this:
<a href="#whatever"></a>
and the actual place it goes to looks like this:
<a name="whatever"></a>
So you need to just make sure there is a name for every href...
When you call to an anchor on another page, it's like this:
<a href="page.html#whatever"></a>
But on that page.html, the name is still just
<a name="whatever"></a>
Just avoid spaces and capitals, and make sure you have named all the places you want to get to.
www.htmlvalidator.com will be of help for this, as it will track the errors and let you fix them right away. I find it invaluable.

Hi,
I agree with Suzanne. In fact, I tend to use acronyms (The Learning Curve == tlc, etc)
It makes everything easier to find & type.
