How would one go about making a link that leads to a different part of a page?
(example: at the bottom of a page you click top to return to the top of the page, without actually reloading the page)
Help is appreciated.

Ok here is the code:-


<html>

<a name="GotoTop"></a>Here is the Top</p>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<a href="#GotoTop">Go to the Top</a></p>

</html>

Explanation:
Lets say that instead of all those <br> there is your site content etc... make


<a name="GotoTop"></a>Here is the Top</p>

on the top ( or where you want to return )
and make the


<a href="#GotoTop">Go to the Top</a></p>

at the bottom or so then when you click the Go to the Top you will be taken to the top!
Hope this helps :)

Allright, so if I understand correctly, a name can be any variable at any place on the page, then from any other link on the page it will go to there. Do I understand correctly?
