Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : HTML # Command

[pammyg]

I am looking for information...(useage, syntax) on how to use the command in HTML where you can navigate farther down on a page.....

For example /filename.html#Section 3

and that will scroll the page down to section 3.....

How do I specify where Section 3 is?

[vito]

Put <a name="Section3"></a> in the spot of the page that you wish to navigate when clicking the link.

What your referring to is known as an "anchor tag".

<a name="3"></a>

Place the above html near your section 3. Then link to that html page with '#3' at the end to automatically drop down to that section.

Hope that helps!

Hi ,

If you want to navigate to different sections of your web page, use javascript to do so.

Please have a look into this scripting tutorial page ......

Here you can find one example of navigation to different sections ( same page). Hope you can get enough info from this URL:
