Linking to a Specific Part of Another Page

You can even link to a named anchor on another page by including the address or name of that page followed by # and the anchor name.

Figure 7.4 shows several examples, such as the following:

Figure 7.4 To link to a specific part of another page, put both the page address and anchor name in the <a href> tag.

<a href="sonnets.htm#131">
You're bossy, ugly and smelly, but I still love you.</a>

Clicking You're bossy, ugly and smelly, but I still love you, which is shown in Figure 7.5, brings up the page named sonnets.htm and goes directly to the point where <a name="131"></a> occurs on that page (see Figure 7.6). (The HTML for sonnets.htm is not listed here because it is quite long. It's just a bunch of sappy old sonnets with <a name> tags in front of each one.) Note that anchor names can be numbers, words, or any combination of letters and numbers. In this case, I used the sonnet number.

Figure 7.5 This page is listed in Figure 7.4. All the links on this page go to different parts of a separate page named sonnets.htm.

Figure 7.6 Clicking the bossy link in Figure 7.4 brings you directly to this part of the sonnets.htm page. HTML for this page isn't shown.
