Internal Links
Introduction
An internal link allows you to link to another section on the same web page, so it basically scrolls the page up or down to the desired location. This is helpful to the user to quickly jump to the information he/she is looking for.
The Anchors
To link to a specific spot on a web page, you need to use a pair of anchors. One where you are linking from, and one where you would like to link to. The first one, is where you are linking from. It is very similar to the normal link tag. The starting tag looks like <A HREF="#name"> and the closing tag looks like </A>. The text between the two tags is what is the link. The text "name" identifies the anchor, giving it a name.

The second anchor identifies where you are linking to. This tag must be placed in your HTML in the location where you would like to link to. The starting tag is <A NAME="name"> and the closing tag is </A>. It is not necessary that any text goes between these two tags as it is just identifying an area. The text "name", must match that in the first anchor, for the link to work. Here is an example of an internal link.
