Anchor Tags

Links within a page - anchor tags
The anchor tag used with a location reference href="#name of
location" is used when there is a need to jump to an anchor point within
the same document or on the same page.
For those with IBM compatible PC's, when inside the Edit text box, click on
the <> symbol to see the html code. For those with Macs, enter
the 'no WYSIWYG' box so you can see the html code.
The same text can be a Link as well as an anchor, the only difference is both
the href= and the name= are used. Both attributes may be placed in
the same tag. Thus the same text may be both a Link and an Anchor:
<A href="#undersea">Under the sea
(Fraser-Cooloola)</A>
(where you want to link FROM)
<A name=undersea>Under the
sea</A>
(where you want to
link TO)
On a long page, you can also create your own "Back to Top" link to go back to
the top of the page after each relevant section is finished:
<A href="#top">Back to Top</A>
(where you want the Back to
Top link to appear)
and at the very top of the page:
<A
name=top></A>
(placed where you want
to return to, in this case, at the top of the page).
Click Submit, go to the web page, click the
Refresh button at the top of the browser, and check
your anchors/links are working properly.
