Links Too


        Links can also be used to direct a browser to a certain area of a web page, useful when alot of information is located on a web page and a user might be intrested in only one part of it. To direct a browser to a certain part of a page You use the <A NAME="***"> and the <A HREF="***"> </A> tags.

        The <A NAME="***"> is the Anchor on the page to be linked to in the examples below, the names of colors were used. The code for the first area linked to (red) is written <A NAME="RED">.

        Linking to the RED area is done by using the <A HREF="#RED"> </A> tags. If the area You wish to link to is located on another page You simply need to include the page's name in the <A HREF=""> tag, for example the filename of this page is links2.html if we linked to this page from elsewhere and wanted to direct the browser to the blue area You could use...
<A HREF="links2.html#BLUE">Click here for Blue</A>
        and it would look like this: Click here for Blue
        Notice the # in the <A HREF="#BLUE"> tag, that tells it to look for a place on the page rather than a file or folder. Follow the links below the color areas to see how You can be placed at a certain part of the page.
<A NAME="RED">
This is the Red area
Red  Green  Blue  Yellow  Violet
<A NAME="GREEN">
This is the Green area
Red  Green  Blue  Yellow  Violet
<A NAME="BLUE">
This is the Blue area
Red  Green  Blue  Yellow  Violet
<A NAME="YELLOW">
This is the Yellow area
Red  Green  Blue  Yellow  Violet
<A NAME="VIOLET">
This is the Violet area
Red  Green  Blue  Yellow  Violet

        Notice how the browser sets the <A NAME="***"> at the top of the page making the area or information linked to easy to find on the screen.
