Section 13
ADDING LINKS TO A SPECIFIC SPOT ON A WEB PAGE
     You can also create Links that jump to a specific spot on a web page.
To do this, you first must mark the spot in your web page that you want to
jump to using the following Anchor tag(s):
<A NAME="whatever"></A>
     You can use whatever word you want to replace the "whatever".  Say you
wanted to be able to Link (or jump) to the top of your web page.  Then you
might add this line in just below the Body tag of your web page:
<A NAME="Top"></A>
     Then you might add a Link at the bottom of your web page like this:
<A HREF="#Top">Back to the Top</A>
     You must include the number/pound sign "#" first here so the Link
knows it is supposed to go to a specifically named spot on the page.  Then,
when you click on "Back to the Top", you will jump right to that spot on
your web page (without having to scroll back up).  It is also possible to
create Links to specific points on other web pages (but that can be rather
confusing).  You can create as many Links to spots on a page as you like
by using different names for each one.
     Here is a demonstration of the above on this web page:
Back to the Top

Information about adding Links to specific points on other web pages is now available in my HTML Tutorial ADDENDUM.   It also explains many other items not fully covered in this Tutorial.   The ADDENDUM starts in Section 21.
