How to go to a location within a document?

[dandaman32]

Does anyone know how to scroll to a tag with an ID in JS without reloading the page? Here's what I want to do:

...body text...
jump to:
<a name=mylocation id=mylocation></a>
...rest of file...

This code will scroll An element into view.

<script type="text/javascript">
function scroll_element(theelement){
if(theelement.scrollIntoView){
theelement.scrollIntoView(true); }
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:scroll_element('document.element1');">scroll to element 1</a>
<br>
<a href="javascript:scroll_element('document.element2');">scroll to element 2</a>
<br>
<div id="element1" name="element1">
some text in element 1
</div>
<br>
<div id="element2" name="element2">
some text in element 2
</div>
