how do you use id for anchors

[tony webb]

I want to place some anchors on my page but they don't work.

I have tried using;
<div id="menu" style="position: relative"><a>name="up"</a>
but it seems that name is now obsolete.

I am now using;
<div id="menu" style="position: relative"><a> id="up"</a>
but all I get is "id="up" printed on the screen.

I have used;
<a> href="#up"</a>
further down the page.

How should I code the anchors for the above 2 examples?

If it makes life easier I can try putting "position: relative" in the css file that I have made for this page.

Thanks.

etc.

Named Anchors:

Those are called named anchors. Scroll down to the title "The name Attribute" for good examples: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp

You can edit and try out your own code online here: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/tryit....link_locations

Examples:

Linking from a section on one web page to a section on another web page:

Using an image as the link:

<div><a href="http:// your_site.com/ html_links.htm#animals"><img style="width: XXpx; height: YYpx; border: 0;" src="Path to image" alt="Text Description"></a></div>

(Spaces added to show all the code for "href")

Text Link:

<div><a href="http://your_site.com/html_links.htm#animals">Visit My Animals Photos</a></div>

Target Text Link on External Page:

<div><a id="animals">My Animals Photos</a></div>
