jumping to a section in another page through link?
How do you make a link so that it jumps to
a section within another page... and not just
the top of the other page?
I want to send people to a paragraph that is
near the bottom of another page.
Thanks in advance

The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. When using named anchors we can create links that can jump directly into a specific section on a page, instead of letting the user scroll around to find what he/she is looking for.
Below is the syntax of a named anchor:

The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. The name of the anchor can be any text you care to use.
The line below defines a named anchor:
Useful Tips Section
You should notice that a named anchor is not displayed in a special way.
To link directly to the "tips" section, add a # sign and the name of the anchor to the end of a URL, like this:
Jump to the Useful Tips Section
A hyperlink to the Useful Tips Section from WITHIN the file "html_links.asp" will look like this:
